Bay Photos by Donna

With the last two posts sharing raptors in trees, it seemed befitting to continue one more post with raptors, showing some in flight photographed in past couple weeks.  So it also works perfectly as my next flight series post. 😉

Red-tailed Hawk
Wingspan 44.9-52.4 inches (114-133 cm)

.

Northern Harrier
Wingspan 40.2-46.5 inches (102-118 cm)

.

The next photo includes another Northern Harrier who was soaring along with a Turkey Vulture, both watching me.

Somehow I lucked on the two side by side, making for a great comparison size shot.  For them, oops!  They quickly separated and went opposite directions.

Turkey Vulture and Northern Harrier
Turkey Vulture wingspan 66.9-70.1 inches (170-178 cm)
Harrier wingspan 40.2-46.5 inches (102-118 cm)

.

And, of course, I’ve got to include the Bald Eagle.  First an immature, and then an adult.

Bald Eagle (immature)
Wingspan 80.3 inches (204 cm)

Bald Eagle with tongue
Wingspan 80.3 inches (204 cm)

It’s not often you get to photograph an Eagle’s tongue as it flies by.  😉
