Brett and I were leaving the house to go out for a drive on Memorial Day. We were heading to the Bay Pines Veterans National Cemetery where my parents are buried for a walk and then to pick up lunch to bring home. Driving out the back way and past some apartments we saw a juvenile eagle sitting on utility box. Of course I yelled for Brett to stop. I had my camera in the car so he pulled over and I was able to get a few shots before the eagle took off. It’s not every day that you have an eagle pooping in your neighborhood.
He circled around over my head and then took off over the tree.
These babies were swimming around below him so he must have been hoping to get one but ended up leaving empty handed. Unless he came back later. There are a lot less babies in this family now.
Every Memorial Day Boy Scout troops put flags on the graves at the cemetery. It’s really impressive (but sad) to drive through and see all of the flags.
Hello, Love the Bald Eagle photos, he is handsome! The ducklings are adorable. It looks like a big duck family. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy 4th of July! Enjoy your day, have a great weekend!
The eagle photos are terrific
Gorgeous photos of the eagle!
Great pictures of the eagle. What great timing?
He may have juvenile colours, but has that distinctive stance. – Margy
That would be a heck of a bird to have on a ‘garden list’! Nice.
Hope all is well – Stewart M – Melbourne
Kudos on being prepared as the eagle presented a neat opportunity!
Hope your Fourth was great!
