Lincoln’s Sparrow & Bald Eagle

One bird that had been spotted at Reifel recently was a Lincoln’s Sparrow.

A sparrow I have not photographed in some time, I managed to locate it today.

It was frequenting the feeder by the tower allowing me to get a few shots.

On my way out through the inside trails I came across this immature Bald Eagle.

It was a rather gloomy and damp day so I was not expecting much.

Much to my delight this American Bittern emerged from the reeds.

This Bittern definitely made my day allowing me to be this close with what is usually a fairly elusive bird.
