This is the best year we've had for finding eagles to photograph - plus I have my wonderful camera with 140x zoom - so I get photos I would have missed with my handy little camera that rides around in my pocket all the time.
Right next to the road - in the sunshine - can't ask for more than that. . .
Even the back of the head is interesting. . .
Wind in the feathers. . .
A tree with five eagles in it - it was just too far away to get a spectacular photo - but I loved all the eagles in the branches.
This was as close as I could get - still some great photos of eagles.
While we were eating our lunch in a little park I discovered this Golden Eagle in a tree - waiting for his lunch.
We had seen these two eagles by their nest before, but today was sunny with a bright blue sky, perfect for more photos.
I was hoping for a peek at the young eagles in the nest - but they must still be too small to peek over the edge.
This eagle was in the top of a tree - right next to a house. Unless the residents heard the eagle call, they probably didn't know that an eagle was sitting almost on top of their house.
Wind blows the feathers. . .
I was lucky enough to catch her shaking and ruffling her feathers. . .
It was a very good eagle day.
