The bald eagle chicks at the HP nest are always a challenge to photograph … the nest is literally adorned with a multitude of pine cones. Capt. Doug and I slowly eased past the nest, keeping the large chicks in sight, and shooting between the pinecones the best we could. These chicks are almost old enough to start branching.
I didn’t want to miss the eclipse totality. Around the corner came the local deer family. They are used to me sitting on my front porch but not bundled up in a dark blanket. The front legged stomp by a couple of the deer is a warning alert. They also tried hard using their noses to identify the porch lump. Eventually they wandered off and I looked up and there was the totality.

Jordan Lake. Captain Doug and I were out yesterday cruising the lake and we could not help but notice that the ospreys have most definitely returned. We saw at least eight or nine of them. I am so glad to see these acrobatic fishing raptors back home for their breeding season.
Yay! we could see a bald eagle chick in the nest. Dad Bard and his chick exchanged glances as they kept an eye on the neighborhood.
