We Tried

My friend Earl and I tried to get some photos of Bald Eagles this week but we couldn't get close enough to get a good shot of them. I will not give up but I don't know if I will be able to find a way to get closer to their nest. They have built their nest in a restricted area and it is being heavily patrolled as many have already tried to get into the area to get a closer look at the Eagles. Some have already been arrested, so I don't think I will attempt to sneak onto the property. I am going to have to try and find someone who knows someone who can get me in the legal way. In the meantime I will share this image with you.

Round two of the twins.

This is a much better image of the twins, for lack of a better name I have dubbed them the Whooter Twins. These 2 young owls were born this year and have grown a lot since we first saw them. I wanted to post this image since the last one was not nearly a good as today's. I was surprised that they were so close today and they were sitting next to each other as well. I was ready today I had my camera and my tripod.

You lookin at me or me!

My daughter came in the house tonight and said, "dad I think I hear the owl" so I went for a walk with her to see if we could find it. I didn't bother taking my camera as I didn't think we would be able to get close enough for a photo op. As we were walking we walked right upon these 2 babies sitting in this tree. I couldn't believe how close we were able to get to them. I ran back to the house and got my camera while my daughter waited by the tree to keep an eye on the owls. When I got back they were still sitting there and they let me take all the photos I liked. When we left they were still sitting there. We never saw mom and dad but they were probably not too far away.
