Shortly after my hubby left to take one of our hay wagons to an auction, he called. That was unusual.
Ruh Roh I thought to myself.
Nothing was wrong. Brad just called to tell me there was an eagle in a field not far from our house.
Really? Cool! I was sitting in my jamies, under my blankee enjoying a morning cup of coffee by the fire. My favorite way to start my day.
I can do that anytime, but an eagle close to home is rare.
Time to hustle. I put some warmer clothes on, switched lenses and headed out as fast as my not quite awake self could.
I found a mature eagle!! I pulled off to the side of the road before reaching the eagle, and stayed in my truck at a fair distance. Vehicles kept driving by. No doubt wondering what I was doing.
Much to my surprised after the mature eagle flew away to a tree across the field, a second juvenile eagle (4ish yrs old?) suddenly flew from a tree next to the road. I had put my camera away, but fired it up in time to capture these:
Have I told you lately how much I love my husband? A lot.

Aww that's awesome! Great opportunity - and my husband would (and has done) the same thing. Great shots!
Nice opportunity for you too! Glad he called. I do love watching the eagles whenever I get a chance. I still get all excited!
