Very common sight to see when Swainson as well as other raptures are in flight…Red-winged Blackbirds, Eastern and Western Kingbirds will often harass these much larger birds.
They will often do the same if a raptor is perched some where.

Spending time with the Eagles
Most exciting year at the summer place in Gimli these past few months and much to look forward to next year. Now with a second pair of Osprey and a good start to a nest site as well the Eagles nest.
Watching these two siblings interacting at the nest prior to fledging was always a great way to spend an afternoon.
Change of Seasons
As the seasons change so do my subjects…I’m happy to say that Mother Nature was more than kind to me over the spring and summer.
Perhaps the most rememberable will be locating an Eagles nest close to our summer place in Gimli. I’ll be looking forward to next spring and their return to the site.
Next event will be the Eagles as they collect prior to migration.
Following that I’ll begin to check all my Snowy Owl, Hawk Owl and Great Gray haunts.
