Mirror mirror on the wall who’s the prettiest bird of all…
This baldy seemed to be admiring himself in the puddle reflection. I didn’t quite get that in my timing of the shot. I was on a VERY BOUNCY boat (9-12ft swells) in Homer AK.
Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond

While riding on the ODT with my WOW (women on wheels) group. We saw this Baldy up close eating the remnants of a fawn. Most likely a cayote took it down originally.
My eagle pair are back and nest building. This was on a branch right near my window. He was looking for a tasty fish or duck for lunch.
I’ll share him with you (often). He comes to the branch of this tree just outside my window almost daily. I know its a he, because males are smaller and his mate is usually flying with him or nearby.
THis eagle would fly by low and then dip into the grass over and over. I thought it wa missing its prey…but when I zoomed in I realized that each time it had a small mouse or vol in its talons that it quickly ate before diving again.
When a Baldy flies just over your head, you are immediately impressed by its enormous wing span of 75 inches. I can only imagine what little creatures feel.
