- So how strange is it that almost one year to the day since seeing our first bald eagle in the tree behind our house, I see TWO bald eagles in the tree behind our house!?! I was driving home from doing some Christmas shopping when I noticed a couple of cars pulled over on our street. I immediately knew what was going on and turned my gaze towards the ‘big tree’. Lo and behold, not just one – but two gorgeous (and huge!) bald eagles were sitting on the tippy-top branches of this giant tree.
- I screamed home…ran inside…grabbed my camera…changed the lens and shot back out the door. I didn’t want to miss this opportunity. When I returned I was able to get a couple of decent shots before the batter ran low on my camera causing the automatic shutter to not work properly. Regardless, I am pleased to at least have gotten a few good shots. These eagles were much more scruffy looking than the one we saw in January – but still just breathtaking to see in the wild.

Neat-O!!!
I felt lucky to see the one last year with you. Rusty and I looked while we were there this month but didn’t see any. Keep that battery charged!!!
