Flying Along the River 01_17_06.jpg

Wanda and I spent part of the day up a nearby canyon today watching the wildlife. I need to go set up the blind and spend some quality time getting some eagle photos. Todays pictures were taken from the car at a bit too long of distance. The pictures are a little too much of a crop.

We did see something unusual. We watched an immature bald eagle sparing with an immature golden eagle. They were near a mountain lions fresh deer kill. The birds were cleaning up the leftovers http://www.pbase.com/slowpokebill/image/54996275 and http://www.pbase.com/slowpokebill/image/54996436 and http://www.pbase.com/slowpokebill/image/54996509

Here is another bald eagle hunting http://www.pbase.com/slowpokebill/image/54996467

And here is a cotton tailed rabbit taken after dusk http://www.pbase.com/slowpokebill/image/54997171
