Looking For A Place To Land
This is one of the bald eagles that was flying around the marsh area Monday afternoon, and at one point he started to look down for a nice spot to land and relax for a while. At least I thought that was his plan. The eagle did indeed pick out a nice tree top branch to land in, but he stayed all of about one minute before jumping off to his next destination.
For birds that I normally see standing in one spot in a tree for hours, this eagle clearly had things to do, and staying put was not one of them!

It was fun watching this active eagle! Sometimes they just sit around all day but this one was on the move. 🙂

spell binding stuff. Bald eagles have a tremendous presence even when still, while flying….
