Eagles in Flight

Eagle in a tree

Pair of Eagles
Coming at ya!

An amazing day! Eagles! A dozen of them! In my backyard! Go to the Whaletails site for more pics – or, for a slideshow, visit the Picasa site: Backyard Eagles

(best when turned down [or speeded up, depending on your point of view] to 1-second intervals – you can almost watch them fly in formation!) Incredible!

  1. I would love to have a chance to peer into your backyard. How incredible!!!! And the pictures look like they have an exquisitely choreographed ballet!

    Wow-we-wow-wow!

  2. Ah! You said it best! “Like an exquisitely choreographed ballet!” They are so incredibly graceful! I have read that they mate for life — I was amazed to watch them fly so closely in pairs, often calling to one another and turning together. I am always amazed at how the little birds will harass them. Perhaps they are not really so ferocious – only so in our own eyes, since we have turned them into something more than a magnificent bird, but a symbol.

  3. What incredible eagle photos! I particularly enjoyed watching the pair soar together in perfect formation.
    I’m so glad to know about your site.

  4. Hi! And thanks for visiting my site! Actually, this site is dedicated to writing about my mother’s struggle with Alzheimer’s, but I am having a difficult time writing about that – and so I started the http://www.Whaletails.WordPress.com to share some of the other fun things we do (and which my mother would have enjoyed). Sometimes I have to pinch myself – I feel so fortunate to live where I do. It’s a good life. Your name expresses it well: Morningjoy!

  5. Hello again!

    Sorry for this rather brief message but I thought you might enjoy a post I put up on my blog today with a link to a documentary about an elderly couple who are coping really well with the onslaught of Alzheimer’s disease. Here is a link

    I hope you can play the documentary okay as it really is powerful stuff.

    Take care

  6. How cool that must have been!!!… I’ve only seen eagles somewhat close in a zoo. They are sooo huge!!!

    Hope all is well with you! Have I sent you a link to my music on my myspace page? I’m writing a CD of music for relaxation/easy listening. I have gotten a lot of good feedback on them so far. I should have the CD and songs available for download very soon. Here’s the link: http://www.myspace.com/davidwlindberg

    I hope you enjoy them!

    Take care!

  7. David – if you check back in on this – I was not successful at leaving you a comment on your myspace. Your music is absolutely beautiful. Truly, it brought tears to my eyes. It reminded me of times with my mother – paddles in quiet waters – walking through the rainforest – sitting in my secret garden. Keep doing this. And yes, I will buy a CD when it is ready.

    And to anyone reading this – check out David’s music at http://www.myspace.com/davidwlindberg

  8. Beautiful photos. I was always drawn to the way the feathers splay at the end of the wingspan.

    I have to agree about David’s music. Very peaceful and tranquil stuff.

  9. Tim! Thanks for visiting my site and I am glad you liked the photos. I never get tired of watching them swoop and soar, especially when two or more fly together.

    I really need to get back into writing my blogs again now that the hectic summer is over and the hectic holidays are upon us! Or maybe I need to kick back & listen to some of David’s music!

    And on another note – Anyone out there needing info on Social Security disability benefits: Tim has the most informative site I have ever come across on the subject. Go to http://www.disabilityblogger.blogspot.com/

    Thanks again, Tim, for your feedback!
