It was cold yesterday, only about 4 degrees, So we decided we would stay home and leave the shopping until the next day, even though we were low on a few items. I did get some nice squirrely pictures though yesterday.
So today, it was we need to head out and I'm tired of sitting around lets go do something who cares if it is cold or not, it is going to be cold, and we need to do some shopping anyways. So I started the car and let it idle till it was nice and warm. It was a rough start, a low goaning start to the car. I was not sure what the temperature was, but it was slightly colder than t-shirt weather, since I was just going to start the car I did not throw a jacket on or anything, just slipped into the shoes, grab the keys and start the car. It did not feel real super cold, but I knew it was as my nose suddenly felt really dry when I took a breath of air.
But the car started, and I went back inside to warm up, and have a little bit more coffee. After about 20 minutes I figured the car was warm enough so we get ready to head out, cameras check, phone check, wallet check, all good set to go. So I get comfortable behind the steering wheel, then notice the temperature -6F (-21C). Yep it was cold. Not a cloud left in the sky from the morning fog.
We stopped by our usual Eagle Haunt and got some very nice pictures, (they are on my other page, well a couple of them will be). There was a lot of Eagles roosting, it was like they did not want to brave the frigid air. So after this stop we went out for a part way drive down Funny River Road. I am glad we did. Some nice wintery shots my wife got along the drive, but here is what you are here for.
We got lucky!!! Very Lucky!!!! I am glad we decided to not go yesterday, (even though we needed to), and went out today. Sometime my wife and I just get those feelings about a day and a drive. Its a little bit of a shady spot, but I did not shrink the photo's as much as I usually do so the Big Picture links will be a bit bigger than normal from me.
Here he is Mr Majestic coming in for a landing, such grace and poise, touch down point sighted in and preparations underway to land.
Air brakes deployed, tail feathers up, all looks good.
Boom, one point landing, how do you like that Mr. Camera man, no Eagle Follies for your lens. He seems to be saying as he looks right at me.
Yeah, I'm Bad, so so bad, them Crows and Ravens got nothing on me dude. I'm Bad. Look at me strut my stuff.
I got very Lucky as I said, sometimes six degrees below zero is not such a bad time to be out and about the streets for a drive in a nice cozy warm automobile. has a tag for Eagles, called #eaglefriday, but he does not care what day you post. If you like Eagle Pictures take a look at that tag, there are some pretty awesome shots people from all over the world and the USA have displayed in the tag.
