Thank you Jane K, Sheri for you, hit me up for a free private tour of their estate, hope all is well my friend.
Lovely, lovely!
Jane!!!! These are amazing..ESPECIALLY the golden eagle pics!!!!! Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful nature shots. Love the beaver and the dam! You all have such patience and great eyes!
Don – Great picture of the “hand out!” Awesome pictures to all.
Thanks to all of you for the great pictures! And thank you Bulldog for this super weekly feature!
Sorry to let you know that your two eagles are not golden, but subadult bald eagle. No question. You might want to look at the many excellent photos of all ages of both species in “Raptors of Eastern N. America” by Brian Wheeler. It’s common for people to misidentify young bald eagles as golden, but there is really; little overlap in plumage appearance. The problem is to get experience seeing this in the wild; not for bald eagles in Maine, but golden are VERY scarce.
