 First view of a bald eagle. I'd stopped to look at some geysers at the side of the road and turned round to see this bird about 100 yards away.

 

 
 This was a complete bonus - there were a number of ravens flying around and when this bird flew over about 100 yards away I took a snap thinking it might be a heron. It was only when I zoomed in on the photo that I realised it was another bald eagle.
 A "shoal" of birds on Yellowstone Lake - I think they're Lesser Scaups

 

 
 Bird of prey of some sort!
 Another random bird.....

 

 
 ....that suddenly turned and swooped straight over my head - made for one of my best photos me thinks!
 And more birdlife.........

 

 
 ....and more - I need a bird spotting book!
 Final unidentified one...

 

 
 ....and some Canada geese on Oxbow Bend soon after sunrise.
