Bald Eagle Nest Sitting

The bald eagle pair again has their nest near the top of Skinner Butte. There must be eggs because the eagle is sitting patiently in the nest, which by the way is huge. It may not look so big here because it is at such a distance from where we can view it. It took long lens to get out there and the result was still cropped. At least, I was able to get a picture.

1/1000s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso250

Very nice! Better to crop than try to get closer, it may disturb the momma.
