While Missouri weather has been unpredictable at best, going from snow one day, and warming to the 60′s and back again, it has provided for some opportunities to get out and bird watch (even if just a day at a time here and there). So today I have some shots from my birding adventures to update the galleries with. Quite a variety of sizes and species in today’s photo post, so hopefully there is a little something for all to enjoy. Don’t forget to Follow me on Facebook to catch all my backyard bird shots if you are interested, as only 10% or so ever make it up here to the site.

For their first 3 to 5 years, Juvenile Bald Eagles are a subdued mixture of chocolate brown with varying amounts of white over the body, tail and underwings. Adult plumage develops with sexual maturity. Both Adults and Juveniles can weigh 7 to 14 pounds with a 7 foot wing span. Their physical features are identical.

Pelican Swims At Night
An American White Pelican Swims In The Lights Of Night
One of North America’s largest birds, the American White Pelican is distinctive for its nine-foot wingspan, conspicuous white body, and the improbable proportions of its large bill and pouch. Despite their size, the pelicans are graceful fliers, with flocks soaring high in the air and wheeling in unison. In flight, black wing tips and trailing edges are good field marks. American White Pelicans may be seen cooperatively foraging in shallow waters, or at adjacent loafing sites, where they are tolerant of human observation at a respectful distance.

Bluebird Midnight Highligh
Most of the country drives during an eastern North American summer will turn up a few Eastern Bluebirds sitting on telephone wires or perched atop a nest box, calling out in a short, wavering voice or abruptly dropping to the ground after an insect. Marvelous birds to capture in your binoculars, male Eastern Bluebirds are a brilliant royal blue on the back and head, and warm red-brown on the breast. Blue tinges in the wings and tail give the grayer females an elegant look.
