Time Sequence - All in the Month of May
An extraordinary occurrance has happened right outside my back door. O.K. I am exaggerating a bit but... Just a few miles away, an eagle couple has built a nest...
And one is sitting on that nest!
This shot was taken on May 1st.
(Pay special attention to the 3 photos' foliage or lack of, on the tree.)
Being careful not to disturb the eagle incubation period too much with frequent visits, I would only visit the location once a week or so, and stay for just a few seconds at a time. (By car)
On this next visit, although lighting was awful, I caught a glimpse of new life...Eaglets! Amazing! I was speechless!
This photo was taken on May 8th.
The kids were awkwardly stumbling about the nest, and for just a few seconds, they became interested in the big shiny gray blob on the ground. (My car.) I felt that I had disrupted nature a bit, so I left in total amazement...
I've never been so fortunate, to witness such an event or even thought I ever would, unless it was on the Discovery Channel. As a mental note, I thought that the eaglets would be all white and fuzzy when first born, and I've been proven wrong. It's a wonderful thing to be wrong, first hand! Amazing!
(I've gotta shout out to Rattlin Antler for trusting me with the secret, Thank You! It an awesome memory in the making, thanks to you!)
Going back to see how big the kids have grown on May 25th...
Holy crap! They grow incredibly fast! Wow, it's almost over...Soon, the not-so-little kids will fledge...I'm sad to see them go, but thrilled that both young eaglets are healthy and ready to soar! I feel so incredibly lucky! Once in a lifetime...
I still just shake my head in amazement just thinking about it. Seriously? Wow! and...WOW!!
