Glad To See This Guy Show Up

Well the bald eagle dropped in for a visit at the salt marsh this afternoon.

He did a quick circle around, stopped off for a sit in a pine tree, then took off again in search of dinner.

He seemed to be paying a bit more attention to a snowy egret then poor snowball cared for, but thankfully the eagle lost interest and moved on to the far edge of the marsh.

I’ll have more from this visit for tomorrow’s post. 🙂

Sometimes a white featureless sky is just the thing. Nice flight shots, Phil.

  I just try to make the best of what I have to work with, it’s been several days of little sunshine. Sometimes the light grey sky looks good when it just turns white exposing for the bird. Glad you liked these.

Beautiful Eagle, like in an Abba song” Flying high high I’m a bird in the sky I’m an Eagle that flies on the wind’

Wow. I continue to be in awe of your ability to capture birds in flight, especially in less than optimal lighting conditions. Eagles fascinate and inspire me and your images are wonderful.

Poor little Snowy! Those incredible eyes are not ones one would like to have focused upon one!

  The poor snowy had no idea he was being watched. I was worried for him because I got a report that the eagle took a snowy earlier in the week. But snowball was lucky this time.
