Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #stripes any bird that has a stripe marking. The alternative is #mono bird captures, black and white.

We saw one of our regular Bald Eagle couples on their trip from Alaska to warmer temperatures in the south. They stopped by to inspect the nest they've been using the last few years. One of them left suddenly to go get a stick. Happy #FlyDay! #birds #Raptors #photography #EastCoastKin
