A Convocation of Eagles

Today at the dump we counted 8 Bald Eagles.

There were 2 very young ones, although they were as big as their mothers and the rest were almost adults (teenagers) and adults.

Here are 4 of them, mum at the top, baby next branch down and two more that may have been babies but more likely 2 of the teenagers.

Here are two with almost all of their adult coloured feathers playing chase.

David brought one of his long lens cameras and got these photos but there were a lot of trees branches in the way so getting a really good capture was difficult.

Here is one of the babies with it's mum.

This is a juvenile …. a teenager.  Just look how dishevelled it looks. Typical teen.

Good shot David!

It was -13 oC today so holding a heavy cold metal camera with bare hands wasn't much fun.

There were also lots of Crows and Ravens. No Dump Chickens (gulls) yet. It's too early for them.

I guess you can easily tell which one of us took the above selection of photos!!
