I had a good afternoon photographing Eagles by the river. As I drove down Birch Drive there was one perched on a tree over the road. I have gotten pictures of an Eagle on this tree previously and it is a great spot to see them fairly close. They seem reasonably tolerant of people as there were a few people stopped and admiring them when I got there. After watching and photographing it on the branch for some time, I got a nice picture as it was taking off from the branch (below). When I drove down to get a look at the nest by the river there was an Eagle on a log in the river. I got several shots there and then a few as it flew up in to a nearby tree and later flew off again. I could see that the female was laying in the nest. She has been there at least the past two days, so she must finally be on an egg(s). I did not get any good pictures today of the Eagles at the nest, but will keep working on that. If they are successful at nurturing the egg(s) and hatching young Eaglets (is that the right name?) they will be around for a few months. Plenty of time to get more pictures. I also saw my friend the Screech Owl today and got a couple of more pictures. [See more Eagle photos]
