Two Pintails In Disagreement
In the pond close to our house, it's pretty much just Mallards and Canada Geese. Reifel has a lot more variety. These two birds were in a shoving match.

Two Eagles On A Lookout Tree
I saw one of these birds come in for a landing but I didn't have my camera ready. I watched for a while to see if one would fly off, but it didn't. An hour later when I walked by again, they were both still sitting in the tree.
Species: Haliaeetus leucocephalus (Bald Eagle)

Marsh Wren
It was the call that drew me to this bird - he was close by and loud and other birds were replying to his call.
