Blessing of the Pets October 7, 2018

 Trinity Episcopal Church in St. Mary's City, MD had a blessing of the Pets on Sunday.  It is usually an annual event and the pastor, John Ball, is very gentle with the animals.  Here are my favorite pet only photos.

Bald Eagle Confrontation Photos from September 8, 2018

Two bald eagles were making a lot of fuss.  While I watched, an osprey swooped down to complain that the eagles were sitting on HIS nest.  It wasn't the best view of the osprey, but at least I got them all in one photo!  The osprey tend to leave for the south in early September, but even though they weren't hanging around the nest, they still objected to visiting eagles.  They are gone now, so the eagles visit without comment.
