Neighborhood Eagles
A pair of eagle neighbors stopped by to
pose for pictures this morning.
One of the great things about living a mile or so from the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge is that the wildlife often spills over into our neighborhood. Today it was pair of bald eagles.
When I opened the shade on a front window this morning, I noticed these birds in a cottonwood tree behind the house across the street. We immediately got out our best telephoto lens and began taking pictures. Not knowing how long they might stay around, I quickly took a few pictures (including the first one above) from our driveway, with the camera hand held. We then got our tripod out, and started roving about taking pictures from various vantage points where we could get a view without too many branches in the way. One eagle soon flew off, but settled back on a lower branch. Otherwise, they stayed in place for over an hour, and we got a couple dozen photos that we've posted on our smugmug site.
