Grumpy Eagle

We have had nothing but grey, gloomy weather for the past two days and this bald eagle seems to be about as grumpy as the rest of us about it.

So what you’re saying is that the eagle was just reflecting the mood you were projecting:) I’d be smiling if I saw an eagle.

  Well he does look kind of grumpy, most everyone is around here right now. We are so used to it being almost always a nice day that a couple lousy ones get everyone in a funk. Plus a couple minutes after I took this photo that eagle took off after another eagle, so he was acting a bit cranky.

  No I can’t blame him at all, especially since it’s almost always a nice day here practically to the point of monotony. 🙂

  None of us are right now, nobody is happy here when it gets cold and rainy for a few days.

  Yup, a bad mood for sure. Right after I took this photo he left his tree and took off after another that eagle that had the nerve to fly into his airspace.

Seems we’ve been stealing all the sun…. how very unusual for this time of year. I LOVE the eagle’s look, somehow seems fitting.

  He was in a cranky mood I believe and who could blame him, it was a gloomy day.
  All is back to normal now though with plenty of bright sun yesterday and today. 🙂

I have a shot of an eagle sitting on what looks to be the same branch. Wonder if it’s the same one? Nice shots, by the way.
