We are really getting to know one of our neighbors - the bald eagle.
This photo was taken from our balcony on Christmas morning using the zoom.
Later that Christmas morning we walked around the lake where the bald eagle has been hanging out.
Some of the lake was still frozen and these Canada geese were lined up eating ice.
The bald eagle appeared over head then swooping down to the lake.
It landed across the lake.
We discovered that there were dead or just frozen fish in the ice. These gulls were feasting and the eagles were too as we stood and watched a pair of them grab fish. Sorry couldn't capture that fast enough.
The heron likes to hang out at the edge of the dam.
Got a close up of the bald eagle
and its mate.
Finally here's a zoom in from the lake to my balcony. It's the open one. We are on the 11th floor and loving watching our neighbors, the bald eagles fly by.

Hello Marcia, you have an excellent vantage point from your unit. It was so enjoyable seeing all the activity on the lake, thank you for your post. Cheers now, Sue :D)
ReplyDeleteWe have more than enough geese, but an eagle of two would be nice.
