The immature plumage Bald Eagle found by Steve Nord this morning, was still sitting on the wooden pole near the dog runs at 4PM. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised to find it apparently un-moved all day.
Photos I took appear to show a swollen crop, which may explain why it stayed put.
Recently at Arthur Pack Regional Park, I found an American Coot with a fairly bright yellow patch on its shield. Made me start to pay a bit more attention to them. Found the yellow again today and two with deep red shield patches as well. Some are all white.
Photos are on the Hot spot site on eBird. Both were close so easy to see these variations.
