Cows in a Circle

On January 13, 2008, I went for a drive in the Grassland Park, Kamloops, BC. I saw this herd of cattle in a pasture. They are standing in a circle and it looks like the reason for that is because they just got fed. I've never seen this before where they get fed in a circle like this but then again, I am originally from Ontario. In Ontario our cows there were always fed in a straight line. Hey, maybe that is why beef in BC tastes so much better!

Magpie

On January 13, 2008, I went for a walk in the Grassland Park. I saw this magpie sitting in this tree. The tree was located right beside a railway track. Magpies are kind of spooky birds. They have white breasts and very long black tails. They are on the list of birds I don't much like. Crows are on that list as well.

Bald Eagle

On January 10, 2008, I saw my bald eagle sitting in his tree. It was a very cold day and I guess he was just resting. Whenever I see my bald eagle in his tree, he does seem to sit there for quite awhile.

Bald Eagle Landing

On December 18, 2007, I continued watching my bald eagle for a few more minutes. This picture was taken about a minute after the previous picture of my bald eagle flying through the air, chasing a duck. I actually got to see him land in his tree.

Bald Eagle Flying

On December 18, 2007, it was a cold day. I was amazed though at the sight that I saw. First I saw a duck flying through the air and as I watched, I saw he was being chased by something and when I look closer I saw my bald eagle chasing him. He chased the duck through the air for about a minute and then he flew right above my head. I couldn't believe it. I very seldom get to see my bald eagle flying around. I see him most times sitting in his tree. This was a very rare treat.

Bald Eagle

On December 13, 2007, it was a cold and foggy day. The fog was so thick that it covered the mountains in the background. It was so thick that I couldn't see hardly anything. However, I did see my bald eagle sitting in his tree. He sat there for quite some time while I took his picture. The tree that he sits in is probably 50 or 60 feet tall.
