Photo overload....
When we took our detour on Friday, we went to the tailwaters of the lake...to look for an eagle. We didn't see one...Roger asked which way did I want to proceed to Mansfield. The backway of course. I was hoping to see an eagle, but didn't hold much hope on that dreary day.
We didn't go too far till 'there's one!' He flew through the few trees and lit...and I was out of car too quick to talk about.
He was a good distance away....these are cropped. I know not the greatest, still I was pleased with them for the day it was and the distance he was.
Such a big boy...I don't know why, if I see a juvenile, I always call it a boy.
As we were leaving Roger wandered where the parents were. I think we have only seen a juvenile once or twice without a parent somewhere near. So we kept watching...
We were getting down close to Bridgeton and there this one came...honestly I couldn't tell if it was an adult or juvenile through my camera...
It is at least getting the white head...but through Roger's spotting scope we could tell that it is still a juvenile...I think a 4 year old.

That was a handsome juvenile and you know the age of the juvenile just by looking at it. You are fantastic! Ha ha and that is a funny video!
ReplyDeleteCool!! We have begun to have Eagles in our area just in the last few years. I have seen an adult a few times, but not so I could get a pic. This fall there was a HUGE bird flying over and around our house. I had never seen one like it before. I couldn't find it in books or on line, but now I realize it was a young eagle. We live in an area near St. Joseph river with a bay at the end of our road 3 blocks away. We have been suspecting there was a nesting area somewhere near as we live a couple of blocks from a county park which is really meant to preserve miles of wooded area along a creek that feeds into the bay and the bay area.
ReplyDeleteI have been having almost daily visits to our feeders from a young Red Tailed Hawk.
What is it about these predators that makes them so exciting to see!!
Excelente trabalho e belas fotografias.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.
Funny video, and congrats on your perseverance on getting a photo of the eagle.

NEAT NEAT NEAT... I still have not seen an eagle. As much as we are out-and-about, I always miss them... I love to watch/see them on my computer/TV.... MAYBE one day I will see one.
ReplyDeleteGreat pic's.
Hugs,
Betsy
Gal...I could have watched that video 20 times and never tire of it. How in the world did you find it? Can’t wait to share it with Buddy. I am sosso envious of your eagle photos. Who cares if they aren’t perfect...they are what they are and you SAW it. I am go proud of you for being so quick on the getting out of the car and hitting the shutter button over and over again. Kudos to you. Still in my PJ’s! Called me to sub and I clicked NO. Feel too good to go anywhere :-)
