Two Bald Eagles on two trees in my yard...I'm shaking...had to run in and get the camera, the card wasn't in it and I had no room for pics on the camera itself, and then the batteries went dead and the hubby ran in and got me 4 new batteries....

All the while I am thinking that the American Bald Eagles will fly away before I can get a good picture of them....

They were beautiful....HUGE HUGE HUGE, you have no idea how huge these birds are...the pics just do not show how big they are...maybe 6 or 7 foot wingspans...

One was in full sunlight, the other was in a tree 50 ft away, in the shade part of the tree so not as visible....

They flew in together, one was a screaming eagle...then they landed on separate trees.... I've NEVER SEEN A PAIR TOGETHER before....

THIS WAS AWESOME!

Such great photographs! So close up! You did an amazing job! Bravo!
I'm amazed they even turned out, I was shaking...first having to find the card that holds the pics, and then the batteries going dead.... I was CERTAIN I was not going to get any pictures at all because they were going to fly away....but they stayed there for a good 5 to 10 minutes so I finally managed to get a few...!!! Whew!!!

Oh. I thought you came from Maine and lived in the Rockies or something :lol:
A few friends have places in Maine, but one particular friend has a place at the end of the App Trail. I;ll have to ask him if he sees this kind of thing. Totally awesome.
