This Never Gets Old

We have been photographing these two Bald Eagles for years. The firat photo I took of one of them was in May of 2019. I remember how excited I was. We had seen them flying in the area for a few weeks and there he was, in a tree south of me.

I was starding at the exact same spot as when I shot that photo back in 2019. This time I saw one flying down the river approaching our location. I photographed her as she approached and flew over our heads. It was beautiful.

The second eagle soon followed but instead of flying over us, he circled and landed in a tree just over river from our location. I shot the top photo last, really close to where he was perched. What a cool experience. This never gets old .. it is exciting every time I see them.

The Majestic Eagle

We were hiking along the Great Miami River at Farrington Reserve when I saw a large bird fl;uy by just on the other side of the treeline. I thought it may be an eagle but I could not get a good view before it was out of sight. We walked a little further and as we approached the bridge over the river I saw this Bald Eagle. A few seconds later a second eagle flew out of the tree below this one. The pair both flew off. I am a bit of a raptor nerd.

Favorite Tree?

I think we have found this eagles favorite spot. We have seen a hawk or this eagle in this same line of trees most of the days of any week. This is maybe my best eagle photo in a long time. I am luck to photography them frequently and I love this photo.

I See You

This is as close as face to face as I have come. Clearly those eyes were looking at me.

Nest

When I went out to take these photos, I was going to capture a few photos of empty nest. Well, look close .. there is an eagle in the second nest, and a bird in the top one too. The photo below is the eagle in the tree next to the eagle nest. They will have eggs in the nest late next month.
