The paddyfield pipit, or Oriental pipit,[2] (Anthus rufulus) is a small passerine bird in the pipit and wagtail family. It is a resident (non-migratory) breeder in open scrub, grassland and cultivation in southern Asia east to the Philippines. Although among the few breeding pipits in the Asian region, identification becomes difficult in winter when several other species migrate into the region. The taxonomy of the species is complex and has undergone considerable changes.

I closely observe a bald eagle nest and this one has had 3 eaglets 3 years in a row now. This past week they have fledged and that usually gives me opportunities to get crazy close to them when they perch off the nest. Here are a few portraits and other shots I shot on the weekend.
