Went out to photograph an Owl but

Post by reible »

Didn't spot any so I had to take a few pictures of this Eagle.

Imagine my disappointment.

Well I got to keep busy doing something until I can work in the shop again.

Eagles

Nice! Get them all the time here, and further north up the coast in Breckenridge. Amazing to watch them hover in one place for a long time.

Really nice pictures. We have a couple that nest here in Wichita. They are a beautiful bird.

Hi,

These were taken by the river in almost downtown Yorkville.

Hi, ED! Absolutely beautiful photos! Just like with woodworking - you and your camera do excellent work!

No matter how many Bald Eagles I have seen, I always get goose bumps when getting a good view of one. Same thing happens with Ospreys!

Thanks for posting your "disappointment"!

No matter where they fly, they are truly regal birds.

Many years ago, I lived very close to Flathead Lake in Lakeside, Montana. We used to picnic by the lake on the weekends just to watch the eagles. They were numerous then. I sure hope they still are.

Unfortunately, back then I could not take a decent photograph to save me.
