Majestic Raptor

Teresa and I took a long hike with Cooper one morning this week. It was cool outdoors but the sky was blue and it was perfect hiking weather. When we are walking one or more of our dogs on the bike trail, we rarely take a camera, other than maybe our iPhone. On this morning, I suggeted Teresa bring her big girl camera. The last time I hiked this trail I saw a pair of Egrets in the river. I tried to capture a good photo with my iPhone, but it just was not enough zoom.

About 3 miles into our walk Teresa noticed a large bird in a tree on the other side of the Great Miami River. We have seen several Turkey Vulture in the trees in this area lately so I really did not think much of it. She focused her lens and shot these photos. It was a beautiful Bald Eagle. This is likely one of the pair that nest about 3 to 4 miles to the south of this location. So majestic.
