Sunday afternoon I took advantage of a break in the weather to look at birds at Fernhill Wetlands in Forest Grove.  I was hoping to locate a few unusual sparrows but the skies were so active that I finally gave up trying to look for anything below horizon.  I'll chase the sparrows another day. Perhaps the biggest surprise was a lone Northern Pintail's successful effort to avoid repeated attempts of Bald Eagle to turn it into lunch.  For a dabbling duck, the pintail proved quite capable of staying fully submerged whenever the eagle was directly overhead.  After about 15 passes, the Bald Eagle abandoned its chase of the duck and settled for a medium size fish.

After giving up on its chase of the Northern Pintail, this Bald Eagle settles for a small fish which it finishes off before I can get photos of the feast:
