A Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus) sits in tall oak tree after snowstorm.
This Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) flew into the salt marsh scattering all of the birds except the Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) either to the far remote corners of the salt marsh or completely out. The Ospreys are not afraid of bald eagles. In this photo, it appears the Bald Eagle is chasing the Osprey but it is the opposite. The Osprey is above the Bald Eagle and is shadowing it to keep it away from the Osprey nests.
I spent a winter's afternoon photographing the antics of a group of Sanderlings (Calidris alba) slipping and sliding off the beach rocks, running on the beach sand and feeding on snails in the surf.
