Not taken at ROLF; taken in my backyard in Kirkwood, MO. But, these are so common at River of Life and easy to find when the Lobelia (cardinal flowers) are in bloom along the river in Aug-Oct.
One hundred Cliff Swallow nests hang from Blair Bridge, about 4 miles downstream from River of Life Farm. On this day in May, 2009, I tried to photograph them coming and going to their mud nests.
One juvenile (mine) from the Cedar Chest and one adult ~ Pilgrim’s ~ from lookout point. Thanks for the contributions all. I always welcome fellow outdoor lovers pictures and comments.
This guy came everyday about 5-6 times to hunt insects under the from porch roof, and wasn’t bothered at all by my walking around on the porch. This was mid-May 2009.
I took this on May 22 from the Cedar Chest overlooking the North Fork of the White. Pretty sure by shape of bill that it is a juvenile bald eagle. They are nesting on a bluff downstream; this is a crop out of a larger picture.
