Great Bird
Pretty Good Picture
I
don’t generally think of eagles as song birds, but this one was
circling over our yard this morning, chirping, twittering and warbling,
before it settled in the top of the spruce tree just on the other side
of the little storage cabin beside the trailer.I watched it out the double-paned window in our door, knowing it would
fly away if I opened the door. After it settled in the tree and
stopped singing I went for the camera, hoping it would stay there long
enough for me to get a picture.The double glazing detracted some from the quality of the image, and
the digital zoom detracted some more, but you can tell it’s a bald
eagle, can’t you?

I can tell — awesome!
wow…i can tell from the white head and the yellowish beak.
Great photo!
My dad had one land on his gravel pile at work. He stayed there for hours. He looked tired. They are such wonderful creatures.
Hi sweety–great pic!
Xgram–optional request (ONLY if you have time and energy)–I could use some colorful t-shirts (found a fannie pack to keep money and stuff in), maybe hal;f a dozen, some Alaska some just funny. I think I have a stash of them somewhere.
Also, FYI–D Deva gave us a whole bunch of hand-knitting yarn, few dozen skeins anyway. And I am using the Dodge as a staging area now, that is where I am putting the stuff for you to get tomorrow–including five cans of green beans–they are still on sale for a week, you can get more if you want.
Wow. That’s awesome. How lucky you were to get those pics.
Wow………
I’ve never heard an eagle twitter & chirp. That is very cool! We’re hoping to see quite a few on the way to our camp next month…we’ll have to listen too
Yeppers! I’d love to have heard that…
I sure can. I’ve never seen one in the feathers as it were.
Ooh, that’s beautiful! I miss seeing eagles flying on the plains of Colorado (that sounds like a bad country song, doesn’t it?).
Have you read the Celestine Prophecy?
We get a lot of eagles along the Mississippi in this area. I’ve always thought that their call sounded like bells, like small high pitched bells, not the deep vibrating kind of bell. I enjoy hearing two of them, circling and doing their flight dance while calling to each other. When we lived right along the Mississippi, I could hear them from the house.
That’s awesome!
It is neat you could capture one on film.
The birds, there were a few eagles, that have typically inhabited by area have died off or have flown away over the years.
Awesome…love bald eagles.
Saw one on Saturday in a botanical garden. They were nesting…even had some eaglets.
Awsome – watch the kitten, maybe its got its eye on the cat for a meal … lost a little dog that way in upper Michigan, a hawk took it – never did find it …. true store *
oh i can definitely see it! What great pictures
I like “captured” wildlife snapshots.
