We went to the Minnesota river valley today near Skalbekken County Park and found 2 new active Bald Eagle nests.
The nests were within 50 yards of each other and there were adult eagles flying everywhere.
I have found 18 active nests in SW Minnesota in the last few years.
The eagles seemed very tolerable to our presence as there were 4 wheelers buzzing around across the river too.
That stare, unlike any other in the world! We didn't stay long but long enough to get a couple photos!
Eagle land.
On our way to another location I saw this rooster in the tall grass.
We were lucky enough to find this eagle fishing in a very shallow lake. Like the reflection here above the Bufflehead.
These are my first eagle fishing photos. They are cropped heavily because they are far away but wanted to share them anyway. You can see the fish in the water in front of him/her.
Missed it!
Another attempt...
Got it!
This was another location... getting dark so i turned it black and white and brightened it up a little.
Easily 1,000 geese in this photo, and this is just a fraction of the sky when they got up. Anyone want to count them?
