It was a perfect Sunday afternoon in early March. I was standing in a small dirt parking lot next to the farm. The parking area is often used for a riding area so there was dried horse poo all over. At least I wore my old already cruddy hiking shoes. It was late in the day and I think I missed the late meal but the baby eagles were active. Junior was flapping his wings several times. He was just starting to get lift off, practicing for that big day when he finally takes off. It wasn’t this afternoon. I think it was still a little early and he had a little more practicing to do. One parent took off and Junior was screaming “Wait for me.” The parent circled several times and then landed again. Maybe he was showing Junior how it’s done. I haven’t been back since this day. I’m sure by now both kids are flying around even though they may hang out in the area for a while. I stayed for several hours and then it was time to go home and cook dinner. I felt like I was covered head to toe in dried horse poo powder so a long shower was taken before dinner.

Those babies sure are getting big! Love seeing the eagles but a shame about the horse poop. 🙂
Hi Dina oh it was worth the horse poo getting those terrific shots. Fantastic to see.
That’s the stage “ours” is at right now. Beautiful series
Wow, gorgeous pictures! Fantastic!
Fantastic photos.
Stunning series of photos capturing the wings in action.
Awesome shots of the Eagles, Dina! And the sky looks beautiful. Have a happy day!
Fabulous shots of Junior jumping up and down. Doesn’t take long, does it? But isn’t it just wonderful that the North American population of bald eagles has been re-established? Always a treat to see them. There are many near my home town in BC, and some can always be seen on a drive from the southern suburbs to the Vancouver airport. I’ve had to tell my brother to keep his eyes on the freeway instead of pointing out eagles for me as he drives me to the airport.
