Eagle Watching

My dad and brother were here visiting this week…I really hated to see them leave this morning but we had a great visit.  The weather cooperated so we went Eagle watching (they winter in our area) and fortunately we found a few…most were flying overhead but we were lucky to spot this momma and her baby.  I was so glad we found one that was perched so we could take pictures….my brother was thrilled…he had not seen them in the wild before.  We watched them for probably 1/2 hour and they never left this spot…the only thing momma or maybe poppa moved was his/her head. 

The eagles were perched pretty far away from where we were parked but
I am pretty pleased with how well the pictures came out.

  1. Gorgeous photos! We were lucky to see several eagles on a trip to Yellowstone a few years ago. It was the first time we have ever encountered them, and it was an amazing sight.

  4. I really wish there were bald eagles around where I am from. I have had the pleasure of seeing one from a very far distance just one time. These are gorgeous photos and I am envious of the time you got to spend watching these beautiful creatures.
