I haven’t posted an eagle shot for a while. Have I mentioned that I saw only one bald eagle in all my years in California? It was very distant, across a valley, a tiny speck in my binoculars. After nearly eight years here I still get excited at every sighting.
Eagles are rare sight here. I think in my entire life I seen about 10 and I had to travel to the maritime provinces to see them.
Majestic birds they are.
Around here eagles have made a terrific comeback yet some people feel that those facts are not entirely accurate. Despite looking for them on our own field trips, I have yet to spot one!
Oh me too Kay but I’ve never been lucky enough to catch one in flight like you have here, nice work!
They are such majestic birds!
Nicely done. We have some eagles here but I don’t see them nearly often enough. I think you’re loving your new lens!
A eagle in flight, a perfect capture! Great shot, Kay.
Fabulous!!!!!! I never saw one in California either. Guess we both needed to move to this area to see them. I am thrilled each time I hear or see one. We were on Samish Island a couple years ago and there were many eagles – we had stopped to talk with a lady who was working in her yard and I commented on how wonderful it was that an eagle was in the tree just above our heads. Her reply was – “Ehh, we have a lot of eagles, I don’t pay much attention”. What a waste of a great experience – if I see 10,000 eagles in my life I will still be excited by each and every one of them. Super photo – so hard for me to capture them in flight. Hey – they say sunshine tomorrow – whooppee – what do you plan to do with the sunshine?
I love eagles. I do see them here on occasion. Someone told me about a pair and eaglets in a location about seven or eight miles from me. I might go searching for it in a few days.
