A nice look at this gorgeous pair of eagles that I had the opportunity to photograph this past weekend. They were both quite content to sit and pose for me.

This image does a nice job of highlighting the size difference between the male and female. As with many raptors, male bald eagles (left) are smaller than their female mates (right).

Thank you again to the folks who owned the home where these two were perched. They were kind enough to invite me onto their property to get a good angle for my images.

Have a great weekend!

Between that and the fist she was making, I think she wanted to punch me. 😀

A very fun encounter with this pretty lady and her mate this past weekend. I spent an hour with the pair of bald eagles in an open space in Weld County, Colorado.

Soon, they got bored of me and flew off to some trees in a rural house’s backyard. I followed and much to my pleasure, the homeowner invited me onto their property to get a better look.

I shot bunches of pics of the pair but this one, as I was leaving (I had no choice but to walk directly under it to leave), is probably my favorite. So much character in it!

I did truly appreciate the person letting me intrude and will be dropping off some prints for them next time I am in the area – something I always do as a thank you when someone gives me a tip or the like about a critter that pans out.

It has been months since I had a decent bald eagle outing. This past Sunday that finally changed. I spent an hour photographing this pair where they had each staked out spots on two separate osprey stands. No action but some nice poses. After that, they flew off to the west and landed in a tree about a quarter of a mile away.

I was spotting them with my camera when I finally paid attention to the entire scene. Behind them, the dominating 13,911 foot high Mount Meeker and behind it, the even taller 14,259 foot high Longs Peak. You can see the male bald eagle on the left, the female is on the right and is clearly raising a ruckus; I could hear her even as far away as I was.

A pretty cool scene overall and one that showcases Colorado and those gorgeous Rocky Mountains.
