2025 Imaged BF Hammer style

Started right away on New Years Day. Not greatness, but we can build to that as the year progresses.

It was very cloudy, the Wisconsin River is not frozen over, very few eagles about. What I captured was all happening pretty far away and I had to crop in a lot.

I believe these 2 eagles were courting.

With a lack of eagles, the cranes coming in for a formation landing was the next best show. I actually did not notice the eagle in the tree for the last photo until I reviewed at home.

Also I found out on the TV news that I was in the wrong city that day. There was a snowy owl posing for photographers in a town about 40 miles south of where I was.

Lunch at Burlington, WI. Some suspicious-looking waterfowl out of their element.

Cheez-it guys, the fuzz is here!

Hey, I need help cutting-off my ankle monitor here! Guys!

Catching up on stuff here. My Tensegrity Table from the January monthly assignment.

And for the Weekly Photo Challenge.

Taken with my Lumix camera, these came out a lot less fuzzy through the windshield than my cellphone camera did. I was way too close to exit the car without scaring the birds away.

I'd never heard of these, but after studying your photograph I had a pretty clear notion of what was going on there and did a little reading about them. Your Table looks great!

I'm searching for circles for the weekly challenge today and instead find a fiberglass bird.
