It has the broad tail of the species. I didn't pay attention, I just tried to capture it as it flew away. With my little camera this is not an easy thing to do. Liesl's mama hen story above is amazing, as is the story of the eagle nesting and closing down a job site. This is why I love blogging so much. You learn so many interesting things.Ingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924736131382149056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-38293239755804454582012-06-28T22:12:09.186-07:002012-06-28T22:12:09.186-07:00I see this a lot here with the eagles, small birds...I see this a lot here with the eagles, small birds follow them constantly picking on them.

He came back for the weekend and when he went back to work an eagle had made a nest on the top of his rig LOL! They had to shut down the job until the eggs hatch! :) This certain kind of bird is endangered, so it was required by law.Crazy Life of a Writing Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16064939499412649850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-7415985035121017482012-06-28T09:26:57.994-07:002012-06-28T09:26:57.994-07:00Great photos--as usual!!Great photos--as usual!!fishduckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07334973392362918928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-76851298180791059992012-06-28T08:54:04.161-07:002012-06-28T08:54:04.161-07:00it is surprising he was still there, they are beau...it is surprising he was still there, they are beautiful in flight. bob has 2 that chase his planes at the park, and sit on the soccer goals and watch him. i saw one on a fence once, within touching distance, no camera.<br />you will like this live cam, copy and paste the link. it is osprey with baby<br />http://explore.org/#!/live-cams/player/live-osprey-camMadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-20517433500052035312012-06-28T08:48:29.507-07:002012-06-28T08:48:29.507-07:00Love eagles and hawks.
