Out of the Arctic | Union Bay Watch
This elegant bird breeds in the Arctic, feeds in underwater and spends most of its life at sea. It visited Union Bay for a couple of days this week and could be seen just north of Marsh Island. There are also other birds from the Arctic and a Bald Eagle with its Thanksgiving dinner. See the photos on Union Bay Watch.
Predator or Prey
This week’s post covers a half a dozen birds of prey photographed around Union Bay. One of them is this young Barred Owl from the Arboretum. The owl shows us that it has learned find its own food. Actually, if you look closely at the photo above you can see a tiny bit of proof. Can you guess which other predators were photographed?
