Bald Eagles

A pair of eagles has been hanging around nearby lately.  Here are a few interesting poses.

Bald eagles in flight

This past week I spent a fair amount of time making some new products for a little Christmas sale at my church, some mini picture frames and some small colorful lanterns with electric tea lights.  The sale well received.

I took a few interesting pictures of a visiting bald eagle pair in flight that you might enjoy seeing.  A recent wildlife lecture suggested that the best bird flight photos have their wings up.  What do you think?

A Pair of Bald Eagles

We are fortunate to have some visiting bald eagles in the winter.  We had a pair visit over the weekend.  The enjoy sitting on the osprey nest to look around, occasionally bringing some food.  This time they didn't move around too much, but I can't resist taking their picture anyway.
