Epic Perch

We saw these two Bald Eagles not far from the Great Miami River. Their nest is not far from where we took this photo. I wanted a clear shot but this was the best I could do. The fact that they didn't move and I was able to get this on a cloudy day made me very happy.

Looking For Thanksgiving Dinner?

I almost missed this Red-tailed Hawk but once again, Teresa saw him. I guess he was looking for his Thanksgiving lunch.

Got It

I have been trying to take a photo of a Red-tailed Hawk for a while but lately they fly away before I can get a phtoo. This time i was able to get into a good position before he took off.

Osprey

Over the last few years I have photographed an Osprey maybe 4 or 5 times. They have always been from a distance and generally not great photos. We were hiking the bike trail at Farrington Reserve one day this week when Teresa sa thisn Osprey. She was in a tree where we have often seen Bald Eagles. This was a special opportunity as he was feeding and we watched him fly over the river, catch lunch, and dine in a nearby tree. How cool (unless you were a fish in the river).

Fierce Stare

Check out that stare .. she didn't fly away either. We were in the car and can't usually be those close. Normally where we see them while driving like this the hawk takes off. This one never left.
