What no prize?!
I would be honored to have one of your calendars
of course maybe an official competition would be in order.
Interestingly from the same place as I unexpectedly found this fellow. I hope the ducks are still there.
I saw them Tuesday afternoon at Tryon Creek State Park in SW Portland, Rocky. I went back yesterday and didn't see them; that doesn't mean they're not there. I will be going back to look for them hopefully tomorrow.
Hard to say just exactly how they got there, escapees or dropped off? I've heard there's even been talk in the birding community of a feral population in the region.

That's a great find Janice! I've never seen a bald eagle at Tryon. It sounds like you were very close to it on the trail too!
This is something i'm going to be looking for next time I'm out there.
