The first photo is Hershey.
He came hurtling across the cove, chasing another adult eagle.
They were traveling at high speed and crossed the cove as I was shooting.
The time stamp on the second photo was 08:41:44 and the first photo of Hershey was 08:41:56.
Both birds passed so close over head that I only got partial shots of Hershey. Whew!
the 2 year-old bald eagle came cruising across the cove…

This is Amicus.
He appears to be an elderly eagle.
But I have no way to tell his age other than he is more than 5 years old.
Yet, there is something, an infusion, that speaks of ancient wisdom within his gaunt face.
Rising sun, rising osprey fledgling.
Eyes shining in the light, the youngster landed with the confidence she was gaining.
She had fledged only a few days before.

Ace the Osprey has a favorite perch for eating his fish that he has caught at Jordan Lake.
One of the security lights makes a perfect table.
The slideshow gives you detailed moments to enjoy his power and grace as he makes his approach and landing. Enjoy!
please let me know, good or bad, what you think of the slideshow, thanks
I might be just a tad too high…
I think I’m going to miss my landing, again.
Drat, who keeps moving the nest.
Its hard work being an osprey fledgling.
