The Raptors: Part 2

The Eagles!

This male was just standing there taking in the sites.


This female likes her bath.  She played in the water for over 30 minutes. 

 Yes indeed..those talons mean business.  Careful Fluffy.

The blue is a her eye lid.  She closes it when she dunks her head under the water.  This was really fun to watch.  And, I was very impressed with the layering of her feathers on the wings. 

I discovered an eagles nest with eaglets about 4 miles from my home.  I may need to invest in a bigger lens!   After all, I did have some lens envy at this event.
