Eagle #1 -- The Eagle Tree
First in a series of 3 -- I seldom post more than one photo in a day and never all at the same time but these three form a story of sorts.
I've thought of this tree as the eagle tree for some time now. I started visiting it about a year ago and go every month or two. I noticed the nest in it right away and assumed from the size of it that it was an eagle's nest. That was verified a couple of months later when I saw a pair of bald eagles there.
This day, I saw the one eagle sitting on a branch up above the nest and decided to get a bit closer by walking on a lane that cuts across the rancher's fields beyond it. I don't have a long enough lens for bird photography but I could at least use my 250mm like binoculars. :-)
