Wild Bird Wednesday

We have had open water on our lake for several weeks and finally the eagles appeared.   At first there were two ... a gorgeous adult male and a very large not fully mature female.  I thought they may be a pair, but then in another day there were five eagles ... two adults and three juveniles at different stages of development.

The Adult Male ...

The immature female ... it is hard to tell in these pictures, but she is much bigger than he is, as is usually the case in the raptor world.

 Adult pair ... they were in my tree and I didn't see them until they flew ... :(

I'm trying to ignore the fact that some of these pictures (if not all) are of poor quality.  I am quite certain that it is my camera that is not working and not the photographer ... hmmm :)  Maybe I am getting to old for this gig, but I will shot pictures until I drop ... hope you can tolerate my lack of mastery:)

Just a short comment ... there are four eagles sitting in the trees outside as I type this ... probably the fifth is around and I just can't see him.  As for different perspectives ... my neighbor is taking her dog out on a leash so she can grab him and run.  (Buddy is the little boy that was in the picture with Izzi on my NF Catching Light post yesterday. :)  Life is Good!
