Bald Eagles


In August of 2004, Hurricane Charley blew through Southwest Florida destroying many homes. One of the homes destroyed was the tree that housed a Bald Eagles' nest. So, they relocated to an Australian Pine next to the Dairy Queen. The last four years I have intently observed the eagles who would care for their young and do daily house maintenence. This year, however, other tree branches have grown in front of the nest (anyone got a chain saw) and a couple the dead trees on which they used to perch have blown down. Consequently, I haven't been able to see or, more importantly, photograph them - until this morning. They were both sitting together on a dead snag. It was a foggy, misty morning so I gave it my best shot.
