Today, as we were approaching our house – on the way home from taking the TFC pickup to the garage for inspection – Cerwin noticed a bald eagle in the field across from our house.
I didn’t have my camera, but quickly got it and began taking pictures as I walked toward it.
This is only the second time I have seen a bald eagle near our house in the 47 years we have lived here.
My brothers have see some – when working in the fields – so I know they are around.
There was fresh meat – which attracted it to this field.
Maybe it was the one who made the kill.
I took pictures as I slowly walked closer – trying to get on the right side of the sun.
It definitely knew I was there and kept a close eye on me.
At a certain point I could see that it was becoming uneasy and was prepared for it to fly away.
Actually, I was hoping to get some inflight photos.
It came toward the ground and I thought it was going to land again.
But it changed its mind and took off.
Before long it was out of sight.

That was a delightful addition to my day.
Oh, Doris — what a magnificent sighting. These are wonderful photos — I think I like the second shot in-flight best of all. What a treat to spot him — and even more that he let you get so close!
Agree!
This post was a nice addition to my day too! I love seeing eagles and getting pictures but I haven’t seen any in a while in our area. Most of the river is frozen here so I assume they are somewhere else looking for their food — hmm — maybe in your area! You have some great pictures!
I was so pleased that Cerwin noticed it.
Amazing pictures. I enjoyed seeing them very much!
Thanks. I enjoyed taking the pictures and seeing it so close to our house.
your photos are absolutely amazing eye candy! I know that you could sell them to publications! You are very talented!
You are so kind. It was good to hear from you.
Those are beautiful and majestic pictures of the eagle.
Thank you!
Eagle sightings are sooooo exciting!
Incredibly exciting – and from our own yard.
