Very good trails in there. I'm in the process of observing an eagle's nest closer to home (Fort Myers area) for my fourth year and have observed what appeared to be foreplay so far this mating season. If the eggs haven't been laid yet, they should be very soon.Bob Pelkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00997363387535031988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5327367002060662545.post-80310976191554504492011-11-24T21:25:07.176-05:002011-11-24T21:25:07.176-05:00Beautiful shots of the Bald Eagles Dina but the Os...Beautiful shots of the Bald Eagles Dina but the Osprey steal the show in my opinion.

I envy people who get really nice bird shots, I am not yet venturing on them because my lenses are not for them. However, I serendipitously shot a bird and posted today, it turned out it is a rare one.
