Great catch....
😂🤣.... I was going to say "Tree Oysters"
Oh, and GREAT PHOTO!
(man, I hope to someday just see an owl and photograph it.... Argh)
While hiking back, I snapped a photo of this weed/flower.. pretty cool!... Any ideas?
Hiked to the eagle nest today... The 3 Amigos are getting pretty big...just so happy to see 3!
Then Dad snuck into the nest, but I captured him just as he was landing. He brought an unidentified feathered snack again, but only the left eaglet ate any of it...(See the meat/feathers on his beak...ok, it's hard to see, but it's there)....the others just watched him...
Then Dad perched beside the nest before flying off....look closely, you'll see soft downy feathers on/flying off his talons.
Rain forecasted tomorrow and over both days of the weekend, so I'll see them next week sometime.
Ps... The BIF shots were NOT in perfect focus... I forgot to watch my shutter speed (that I usually have set to 1/1260 to 1/1600).... So there around 1/800... Brain fart 😞
WOWZA, nimbushopper....

set of photos.... That was a great day in the outdoors, right there!!!
Because if it doesn't peel off, then you're going to call Focus Camera and demand an explanation... Which you'll promptly get on here and let us all "know the rest of the story!"

That's why it's a mystery to me...
So..
OldCADuser, have you tried to peel the "screen protector" yet?.... If it peels off and will stick to a screen, the mystery is solved.... Or is it?.. lololol... Hopefully it's not keeping up up at night... 😉

Every year there is a pair of eagles that call this nest home. 2 babies maybe 3.
Keep us posted with updates... I'm following a nest with 3 eaglets, hiking out there every 5-7 days... I should make it thru May... I approximated their age using this website:
https://avianreport.com/baby-bald-eagles/It's been fun... Hopefully you'll have as much fun capturing their progression as I have... Heck, I'm just thrilled every time I go and catch view of that 3rd beak...
Keep em coming!
Good captures, but I really like the wings on the plover!
