I was standing there waiting for something to happen at the eagle’s nest when I saw one of the parents flying up. For once, I was paying attention and was able to get the above and below shots.

Another Sunday afternoon at the horse farm. They were pretty active this afternoon. It was nice and cool and the parents had brought in food early.

  1. Amazing shots (I won’t even mention my camera envy…ooops well I guess I did it again)! They are thinking our little one might actually fly today for the first time….Hope I can get down there today or tomorrow.

  2. Indeed, fantastic shots of the eagles in your sky! And amazing shots of the bittern and frog (No more courtin’ for that froggy)

  3. WoW, what magical moments behind the lens!! Your images are really stunning and I am green with envy!!
