with thanks to Sue for letting me know about the nest

Had the most awesome day at Claire Carter and Hawkeye Bird of Prey Photography Workshop in Thoresby Park. A privilege to get close to such beautiful birds and I learned such a lot about bird photography that I hope I can put in to practice in future. My photos (just a few here out of 100s I took today) are pale imitations of what is achievable but I'm happy with (some of) my efforts with limited kit.

I was coming home from taking pictures at a local marsh when I noticed this action on the neighbor's roof. Not a bird expert, but was told this was mating.

NEW JERSEY’S BALD EAGLE POPULATION CONTINUES TO SOAR

January 14th, 2016

CONSERVE WILDLIFE FOUNDATION OF NEW JERSEY RELEASES RESULTS OF 2015 STATE BALD EAGLE REPORT

by Lindsay McNamara, Communications Manager

Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey today released the 2015 Bald Eagle Report, highlighting the number of nesting pairs, active nests and nest productivity for the raptors throughout New Jersey with data collected by New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Division of Fish and Wildlife biologists, CWF biologists and committed volunteers.

“With 161 pairs of bald eagles this past year — up from just a single nest in the early 1980’s — the dramatic ongoing recovery of bald eagles across the northeast continues to inspire so many of us,” said David Wheeler, Conserve Wildlife Foundation Executive Director. “The thrill of seeing a bald eagle fly across the sky is unparalleled. This report captures how these eagles are continuing their All-American return.”

The report notes that thirteen new eagle pairs were found this season, nine in the south, two in Central Jersey and two in Northern New Jersey.

Let this be a lesson to always bring your camera with you. I was running some errands and suddenly saw this fella on a road sign.

I did not have my camera with me. I flew home, grabbed my camera and came back as quick as I could.

Lucky me for me, he was still there!

Unfortunately I missed the landing of this beautiful lady, but she was kind enough to pose for a couple minutes, did some stretching and took off to keep looking for prey.
