These pictures were taken a couple weeks ago, when the trees were just beginning to put on their summertime finery.
On the hillside behind my sister's house is a favorite perch for the eagles to survey their territory.
When Piper and I take our early morning walks, we frequently see them gliding overhead, looking for hapless fish, squirrels or rabbits as they hunt for something to feed their youngsters.
This handsome pair must have a nest nearby, since they are in the neighborhood almost every day.
Now that the leaves are on the trees, it's impossible to get a good picture, since they're hidden by the foliage, but they can still see all the hunting possibilities. They do have the eagle eyes, after all!

Two eagles side-by-side ! Wow. I see a bald eagle about once a week, somewhere in my travels. I remember a time when I never saw them, and now I see them regularly. Times are good !
Hugs to ya from BetsyLee
I know. It's so great to see them so often. Now that the leaves are out, I'm seeing them up the street in a dead tree beside the road. There's nowhere to stop and photograph them, but they always make me smile as I drive by on my way back from walking Miss Piper. :) Hugs to you!
