Last spring I had heard about an eagle couple that was living in a cemetery in St. Petersburg. I never did make it down there but when I heard they were back this winter I had to go and see them. It's an older cemetery but nicely kept. I think the old tree he was sitting on was the only one in the place so you couldn't miss it. I'm guessing they don't want to cut it down so the eagles have a place to hang out. The nest is nearby in a large pine tree. I took all of the above with my Sigma 500mm and they were cropped up so they are not as close as they look. It's a strange place to find eagles but there are bays and inlets close by for fish. I'm going to check back in a month or so to see if there are babies.

What zoom lens are you using? Talk about getting up close to eagles. My husband and I see eagles a lot up in Wisconsin when we are fishing. My lens makes them look like a dot in the sky. tee hee Nice job!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!

I'm not much of a birder, but I'm always amazed at Bald Eagles. I don't if it's because of their attachment to patriotism (and thus religion).
