I couldn't see very well with the naked eye because it was pretty overcast. We had to stand on a 2 lane highway about 200 yards from the nest. From listening to other folks observing, this nest has been there for about 10 years. It was hidden by a lot of trees though. When Hurricane Rita came through, there were many trees that fell, exposing the nest to the "general public". I saw one adult fly into the nest. It came from behind me though and I didn't get the opportunity to focus on the bird. I got a pretty good photo of the babies in the nest. I could see wonderfully with binoculars. But not so well with the camera. I was very pleased with the photos I did get. I will go back again when there's not so much people on the road traffic, and the day is clearer, and see if I can get some photos of the adults. This is the first time I've ever seen a bald eagle. It was a very exciting time for both of us. Janet The photo here is a cropped version of the one I posted in the photo forum. |
