An eagle landed on the ice right next to shore and, surprisingly, I could get to about 20 feet away by moving SOOO slowly.

Magnificent Sunbird (Aethopyga magnifica) by alabang, on Flickr

The magnificent sunbird (Aethopyga magnifica) is a species of bird in the sunbird family which feed largely on nectar, although they will also take insects, especially when feeding young. Flight is fast and direct on their short wings. Most species can take nectar by hovering like a hummingbird, but usually perch to feed most of the time. It is endemic to the Philippines, and was once considered a subspecies of the crimson sunbird.

Group portrait of waxwings having an ice bath... For bird lovers: there are 13 birds here, 12 Bohemian waxwings and one Cedar waxwing. FIND THE INTRUDER!!! As a reward, an additional photo will be posted. It was such a wonderful sight to see them bathing in freshly melted snow. The first time that 400 mm lens turned too long, did not want to back up and scare them.

Interesting - that's exactly what I ran into watering my skating rink 2 years ago. They were dying for a drink after gorging on Mountain Ash berries. Great catch, I share the feeling. High ISO was my enemy.
