first post here,
i wanted to share some pics i took of some cedar waxwings and others. The weather was very cold (iirc it was -10c), on the same day (feb 2 2025) got to see an adult bald eagle, plus some hooded mergs, and a single common goldeye (photos are below for all birds). i have been slowly building my bird count over the years, and the goldeneye was on my list for awhile now, so its nice to cross them off.

   
(also i hope this post is ok! i am new to dreamwidth)

These photos are beautiful! I'm glad you got to cross them off your list, too! :)

Yay! It's great to have another person posting pictures here. I'm so glad you found us.

You might also like newcomers for resources about how to use Dreamwidth and find things you'll enjoy here. common_nature and gardening are two other places that often feature outdoor photography.

I love cedar waxwings but have only seen pictures of them.

>> got to see an adult bald eagle <<

They are slowly returning to central Illinois. I've seen a few of them per year the last several years. Last spring two of them found my yard a romantic carpet for their mating flight. :D

You did a great job with it, thanks. I hope you'll stick around and share more. There's an introduction questionnaire if you want one.

thank you!
i would totally recommend seeing them in person, they're quite colourful and very vocal!
also wow! i would love to see a mating flight of eagles, or any raptor i think. were bald eagles not as commmon or removed from illinois?
