no there is a pair of older eagles that sit on the 50-yard wall all day long and eat their catch together I have not seen them the last 3 or 4 weeks.

Ah, they should be in the nest. They were about the only two on the fence side of the island I saw last trip out. I got them a couple of times making whoopie on the towers out front. Let me look back.
1/27/24 - first two; 2/19/24 - last set

One of the FB groups I participate in has daily themes. Yesterday was POTD: Photographer's Choice. Looking back to 2023 I posted these 2 backyard shots.

This shot was taken a few years ago from an "undisclosed" location.

I've been blessed a few times to get spats between an Eagle and one of the resident Peregrine Falcons.

Another interaction between an Eagle and one the Falcons. 5-5-21 Extremely long distance and heavy crop.

Try and run the bottom pic (raw) through Topaz to get rid of the motion blur. Cool shots either way, as always.

Finally got to quietly sneak up on a pair of Wood Ducks today. Sorry for the bad pic as a cheap phone and far away.

I had one that looked just like that who used to hang out under my grill. He scared the hell out of me one day when I reached under to unclip the grill cover and mistook him for the wide, flat head of a venomous snake.

The pear trees are done blooming and are now shedding their pedals. Almost looks like snow
