View From The Top

A bald eagle glides above the marsh on a crisp, blue sky winter day. I’m betting the eagle had a great view from up there.

Well, all except for me…It’s likely the eagle could easily live without some guy on the ground pointing an object up at him! But he paid zero attention to me, so I suspect I was just another part of the scenery.

I imagine that photo puts both of you at the top of your world.

  He has the best seat and view in the house whether sitting in a tree or gliding overhead. Great to see these large birds!

I just got back from photographing eagles and it was such a joy. I can only imagine your joy in seeing them often. Wonderful capture, Phil.

  Any day you see a bald eagle is a good day! Glad you got to see some. I just wish the ones around here would come in closer more often.

Great shot of the eagle, Phil.

Two years ago I was at HBSP in late November and the days were busy with several ospreys and eagles. A couple months ago I came back (also around late November) and did not see any ospreys or eagles. Do they show up more frequently now? Thanks.
