Eagles in the middle of a horse pasture.

Both parents on the nest. I had heard about an eagle’s nest “out in the country” but not too far from Tampa. It’s out in horse country and the nest is in the middle of a horse field that’s private so all of the above were taken from far away and highly cropped. I pulled off the side of the road for a few minutes and the smell of horse poo was pretty strong. I’m not sure when or if there are eggs but I’ll check back later in the month.

There were a few peacocks hanging around the barn nearby.

A horse looked out and was probably wondering what that lady was doing on the side of the road.

  1. Great shots! What lens did you use?

  2. Really like the second down. And how lovely to see the peacock with its tail gorgeously draped instead of in a fan.

    Nice shots of the eagles! Looking at the condition of that tree, they may need to go house-hunting for next year!

    Horses can be so disapproving sometimes!

  11. Come on up here to Fort Myers — “our” eagles have two babies rapidly growing up — flapping their wings and almost eating by their ownselves!
