The Provider

Thank you Maureen! Beautiful thing to watch “live”.

It was fun to watch …. so as she approached the nest, she literally held the fish in just one talon, and then dropped it into the nest while continuing on. That was fun to see. Thanks for the comment!

You have some incredible work in your portfolio! Thanks for stopping by here, why do you watch our eagle webcam (I think it’s great), but why ours? This year has been really good. the juvies are branching now, I suspect they will take first flight this coming week.

Hey, yes that are banded (a band on each talon), and one also is carrying a transmitter so that it can be tracked where it will relocate to. Oddly, I have not seen that one near the nest last couple of times I went.

Thank you Angel!

Thank you Von, I was happy to have gotten that shot (even if I clipped the wingtips just a tad).

Thank you so much, Kelly!

Thanks a bunch!

Thank you so much, Bela

Just wished I didn’t clip the wingtips, oh well ….. it is what it is. Still proud of it, though!

Thank you so much Maggie!

You BEST have favorited it, after a COMMENT like that !!! Hehehehe, I knew you would gig on me that, and I was playing around with extreme crops, etc to have it not look like a missed shot. In the end, I am happy to just have got what I got, not everything in nature is perfect, so I figured I keep this shot just like nature – beautiful – but not perfect! How is that for a defense? Sounds good to me, LMAO!

Wingspan would actually have been a little “huger” .... hehehehe. Thanks Spencer!

I know you favorited it before ….. Oh and by the way, this is the female, so technically I didn’t clip “his” wingtips at all, hehehehe! I sure hope I could take you on an Eagle shoot, not sure if they will be around that much once the little ones leave. Maybe we’ll get lucky and catch them sprucing up the nest?

Joel, this weekend maybe good, as I think they are days away from taking first flight. They are “branching” now, which involves minimal flight from nest to branches near the nest. They have not taken that leap of faith just yet.

Actually, I have no idea, it was a way to get out of Bermingham’s comment about me having clipped “his” wings …. hehehehe, heck, he wouldn’t know the difference.

Hear, hear. Amen brother … I will take you to the duck park. In fact, we may camp there for a few days … hehehe

Look at Michele Conner’s comment and then my reply, hehehehe

Thank you so much Lance! Always appreciate you visits and kind comments!

Well thank you, Wayne! Much appreciated!

Keep at it Scott, you’ll get them! It’s so much fun to try, then once you “get it” it’s almost like: Now what?

Yup mission achieved! I LOVE your last name … how cool!

Just “keep looking up”, you’ll get them …. Best of luck, and be mindful of what Shutterspeed you choose ….

Thank you so Terry!
