Eagles!

The eagle pictures are cool. It must feel great to see them close up.

I saw a hummingbird up close & personal about 3yrs ago in my back yard.

How beautiful! It must have been a treat to see.
I have only seen one in the wild, but a little while back I got to meet one that was being rehabilitated at the vet clinic my sister works at.

Oh what a beauty you got to see up close!
I do hope to see the Eagles here again. I read up on them and they use the same nest for life, so I'm looking in the areas I can walk to on our property but not seeing a nest anywhere. Now that I've confirmed Eagle sighting here, I'm pretty sure what I thought might've been an Eagle last year was, so they've been here at least 2 seasons now.

How exciting! Isn't it something how seeing something special like eagles just stops you cold?

We have a red tailed hawk in our area and I don't get anything done
while he is around. He is too far away for me to take pictures though.

It was exciting!
We have hawks here, as well. In fact, one has been hanging around our yard a lot since the beginning of winter. We've named him/her Hawkeye.

Thank you. It was amazing.

We have hummingbird that visit every year here. I plant a few plants to try to draw them and also put out feeders. I never tire of watching them. I also enjoy the challenge of photographing them.

Thank you Laura. Hopefully I will be vigilent enough to spot them again for more photos.
I'm thinking I might be seeing them from my living room window, as I relax on my couch, flying above and following the creek to do their fishing.

Those are really greaty photos of the eagles. They could live in a mile radius of your place. They will nest in really tall trees & along cliffs with water running close by. I monitor a nest about half a mile from my house for the DNR. I saw the eagled flying & landing on our farm. I went & took monitoring classes last spring & contacted our neighbors to the north where the nest is in a huge white pine along the cliffs with canoe creek running below. I call them Ole & Lenna. They are a feisty pair & will chase a person out of their territory. I was a good 3 football fields away too. When I monitored them this March, I was on another neighbors property counting Great Blue Heron nests & used my binocs & the two were sitting in a pine tree next to their nest & courting. They do feed their young Blue Heron babies. When I was counting the Blue Heron babies last summer one of the eagles flew by me with a baby Blue Heron in its' talons. They raised one eaglet last summer.

Feel free to visit my place with your camera. Its breeding time apparently and those giant flying beasts are everywhere. Just don't bring any chihuahuas.
