I Know I’m Not The Most Interesting Person But Jeez…

Well looks like I’m even boring the eagles now. This one took a look at me today and gave me a big yawn. Jeez. Guess I need to try to be more exciting…

How utterly hilarious! But you don’t bore me a bit!

  Well nice to hear I don’t bore you but I’m starting to wonder about the birds and alligators. They might be sick of me. 😕 😀

Perhaps the eagle is trying to give you a subtle hint- enough already with the camera thing.

  That’s what I was thinking. “Oh it’s that annoying photographer again, wish he would leave me alone.”
  Maybe I’ll try sticking with the alligators for a while, I know they still love me. 🙂

    I bet those alligates do love you- just waiting for you to slip in the mud or into the water and then they’d have a bit of indigestion from eating your camera as well as you… Just a thought,Phil. Sure hope you are being careful around those ugly things. I pass up your blog when you post the alligates.

      I almost fell face first into the swamp last week. I don’t think the alligators would have bothered me but I would have ruined a camera and been all wet and covered with swamp muck.
      I promise I won’t tell them you don’t look at their photos. They are quite sensitive and I would not want to hurt their feelings. 😛 🙂

        You don’t think the alligates would not see you as food? Lord have mercy. Please- do not get too comfortable when you are at the swamp. I do not want to read that a famous wildlife photographer lost his life to an alligator!

        One thing I do have going for me at this time of year is that it’s too early for them to start feeding yet. They might be a bit annoyed to find me sloshing about in their swamp but I don’t think they would come over to try to eat me. 🙂

…. Not everybody can be part of his food chain – and if you’re not lunch, you’re just part of the scenery.

  Yeah that’s pretty much it. They don’t need me for anything and certainly do not find me interesting so guess I’m about as exciting as the next tree. 😕 🙂

  It never made a sound, it was yawning and I really think it was just bored. Plus we have seen this young male around fairly frequently and he has a reputation for being lazy.
  See? I can talk about him like that because I’m safely tucked away in my home now where he can’t hear me. 😛 😀

  Thanks very much so glad you got a laugh out of that. 🙂 I have pics of him leaving the branch and flying off but figured these were more fun and humiliating. To be yawned at by an eagle…

    It was a clever short series and well done.
    
    And re the conversation on my blog, my wretched dog just rolls his eyes at me half the time and turns to gaze at my partner. No dissimilar I think. Dismissed.

I think it’s a compliment. You blend in with the surroundingns. The birds and critters are so used to you being there. Love the photos.

  Yes I suppose to them I’m just another tree. Thanks Maleea!

He looks like a wise eagle. Maybe the yawn was actually a show of that big hooked beak. But you boring the eagle is much funnier.

  He has some attitude I can tell you. After I give him all this screen time he barely acknowledges my existance. 😯 😀

Maybe you should go home occasionally. It has been said that “Familiarity breeds contempt and absence makes the heart grow fonder. ” 😀 Fantastic shots, Phil. I had never thought about birds yawning. Now I’ve just yawned whilst typing this. Maybe you ARE boring. 😆

  Thanks much! I’m happy you are enjoying the eagle photos! I don’t know, I have a tough time staying away. I went back this morning and got Mr. and Mrs. Eagle sitting in their tree. They seemed OK to have me around. 🙂
