Bald Eagles & Nest
May 2, 2012 14:44:50 #
I got to see the mama & papa but the nest just isn't in an area where you can see the babies very well. I was able to see them on the 15th of April (saw two heads) thru a spotting scope & my husband saw a wing flap on Sunday the 29th when we went back. My camera can barely do justice to the mature Eagles but I just wanted to share. They are such beautiful creatures :)
one of my favs with the nest & the adults :D
everytime the RedTails flew around - someone would become upset

Wow! Not bad for the distance you seemed to be shooting from. Are you using a P&S? I can just barely see the parent eagles way up on the left in the first picture. I could only see them in the downloaded view. I actually think the distance and perspective add to the shot.

yup.... still using that P&S - still waiting to get my a77 - I hope to WOW myself but I sure hope I can WOW others, as well, with the pictures I take with it. :D

Hey your getting great shots. I am watching a nest where the parents are obviously feeding a chick but the little bugger isn't big enough to stick his head up high enough to see it yet. Soon I hope.

Very cool!
Always a thrill to see these magnificent birds in the wild isn't it?

Very exciting pictures, great job. That bird is something. Several years ago I was at Chamberlain South Dakota, at a rest station on I-90 overlooking the Missouri River atleast 1000 feet above the river and up several hundred feet above that were a half dozen eagles flying in various cirlces--what a scene. These birds are so magnificent.
