Following those three pics, I've added a Spotted Sandpiper and = a younger Eagle that I took but didn't include in my last posting. Here = is Mike's photo of the Eagle, #165, and continue on through to #169: http://bernieb.smugmug.com/gallery/916397/10/110598075/Medium Speaking of Eagles, I've been trying to view and photograph a Bald Eagle = capturing a fish for years, particulary from my deck here at Red Bridge = Pond Dartmouth. The problem is that, unlike Ospreys usually, they tend = to sit in the same tree for hours so their patience usually far exceeds = my own. Yesterday I had a glimpse of one flying to my right just beyond = the parking lot with Common Grackles in hot pursuit. I wasn't sure but = it appeared to be landing in some trees just beyond my viewpoint. I = found out about 5 minutes later when I happened to look outside through = my deck door, only to watch helplessly as the Eagle skimmed just above = the water, grab a fish, and keep on trucking out of sight. All I could = do was marvel as to how effortlessly he was able to spot his target from = a fair distance and then grab it and run without me capturing it with a = photo...maybe next time...
