It was a morning of wildlife! I got to see the eagles working on their nest again. I watched a hawk chase a bunch of doves and then rest in a tree after he missed them. And there’s an osprey hanging around in the trees near the nest in our neighbor’s backyard. I had my camera to catch those, but I didn’t have my camera when a large coyote ran across the street about 50 feet or so in front of me this morning! Luckily, he didn’t even look my way.
The pair of eagles were sitting in a dead tree where I could get closer photos today. As I watched, both flew down, snapped off limbs in mid-air and took them back to the nest. I managed to get photos of one of them in the process.
He had to dive downward to snap the branch off.
Then, off to the nest with the branch!
This hawk was across the street from our house.
And off he goes to try, again, to get some breakfast!
We hope this osprey is keeping an eye on the nest to make it his own soon!
