    Beautiful angle Mary! Talk about being at the right place at the right time! 📸🦅📸

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      It was a lucky shot. Although, I spent hours at that site on multiple occasions.

      1. Kym Gordon Moore

        Well honey, the waiting paid off! It is an AMAZING shot! 🦅

    WOW! did you get the photo from around your place? We have amazing Hawks here and I forget the name but they are some type of small eagle. I haven’t seen them much this year but the Hawks are coming back to our birdbath to refresh.

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      The eagles are right in my town. I took the photo a couple of years ago. At that time, I could watch them and shoot photos for hours. The nest was recently moved to an inaccessible location. Eagles can be seen flying, but they are too far now for my camera to capture.

      1. Looking for the Light

        It’s difficult, you almost have to go where they are plentiful, find the nest and camp out quietly with a tripod to get great photos of. Alaska would be a great place to photograph them.

        1. Mary K. Doyle

          You are right on all counts, Melinda. But we do have a lot of eagles in Illinois along the rivers. What a blessing.

          1. Looking for the Light

            Yes it is, they are beautiful, stooge and graceful birds.

    This bird is really big and beautiful. Fantastic photo.

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Eagles are humbling to watch especially when they fly over you. Their wing span is massive.

  11. jeanvivace

    On your post ‘If your going to fly’ was very good information about this amazing bird with awesome photos. I wonder how big nests they make. Have a great weekend Mary!

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you for reading the post on eagles, Jean. Eagle nests are about 6 feet in diameter and can weigh a ton. Not any tree can support such a massive home. You also have a great weekend, Jean.

        1. Mary K. Doyle

          My son says that nature photography is like hunting. We sit silently, watch, and wait.

          1. Cindy Georgakas

            oh he is soooo right! Tell your son I Love that💗

    So beautiful photo this 🕐

    1. Mary K. Doyle

  25. The Mindful Migraine Blog

    So good! Curious – was it just landed or just about to take off? (I like the ambiguity regardless). Linda xx

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      It was just to take off. Timing is everything in photography. Most is just luck, even after hours of watching and waiting.

      1. The Mindful Migraine Blog

        Luck and skill, I would say, the shot was perfection. xx

  26. Dawn Pisturino

    Incredible photo!

  27. chevytravel12

    Eagles are so beautiful. All over the world. We have the Wedge tail eagle and their wingspan is over 6ft but they are magnificent in flight like yours.

  28. navasolanature
