16 JAN 09

28º and too friggin cold to be out taking pictures! But I did it anyway

This is the nesting pair of eagles at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens
And I typically just take for granted that I can come out here & take their picture . . .
I can walk right up to their tree (well, not now cuz it's nesting season) and gawk at them any time I want to

Isn't that great!!!

And got my 2 mile walk in to boot
Now I'm going home to warm up by the fire and not come out until Monday! HA!

Canon EOS 40D ,Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM

It is great. It is a bit chilly today. I'll bet the eagles like it.

First two hawks and now two eagles! Special capture for sure! We have two here at Lake Hawkins but I've yet to find them this year!

I'm envious ... I don't believe I have ever seen any of them in the wild.
Have a good time warming up!
