Eyes Of Wisdom

I never dreamed I would take so many photos of Bald Eagles. So amazing to me. Check out those eyes.

Life And Death

We stopped by the one of the bird feeders at Big Woods one day last week and saw a number of brids. As we were about to drive away, we saw this Broad-winged Hawk in a tree just south of the feeder. You can fill in the blanks .. who knows. Nature is often beautiful, and sometimes a little sad. Death and life are connected. Make every day great.

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 Tree Inspector

Yes, another Red-bellied Woodpecker. We are at the time of year when we see less variety. They are still beautiful.

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.
