Bald Eagle Pair Visits

What are you doing?


I’ll look this way, you take that way.

Winning photos from January competition

I won two honors in this month's competition:

Third prize for my eagle pair photo in the advanced competition.

And honorable mention for the Theme competition called Sleep, for a photo of Santa sleeping.  Photographing animals and people sleeping is not a favorite subject for me because I usually like to see the eyes open, like the old saying, "the eyes are the windows to the soul."  I usually toss the photos with closed eyes.  


Sorry Santa, but I preferred this owl photo I entered.  It didn't win anything.  Owls have 3 eyelids, so it is not surprising to catch them with their eyes closed.

Incredible Bald Eagle Pictures

Eagle pictures that thrilled me lately.  I plan to put some of these up for sale.  Some were taken in St.Mary's County and some from Rock Hall, MD.

The eagles are back!

It doesn't take very long for the bald eagles and great blue herons to visit after the osprey fly south.

This pair of eagles was sharing a meal. They tend to mate for life, just like swans, turtle doves, gibbons, black vultures and wolves, to name a few.
