    Bald Eagle

    I heard there was an eagle nest about a half hour away so I took a ride. It was mid day and hazy. This is the best I got today.

    Neat! I take it there are two juvies here along with one of their parents.

    The drive doesn't sound too far considering the subject. Thanks for taking us along.

    I just found out about the nest the other day. I have a job about two minutes from there so I will be trying to get some more. My customer says that he seen the eagle in his back yard. There is an Osprey nest about 100 yards to the left of the eagle nest. I had the same problem with the sun on that.

    Re: Bald Eagle

    The two nests are about a hundred yards away from each other. Here are a few shots of the Osprey nest.





    Not very good shots. It was around 12 o'clock and I had to shoot into the sun.

    Ironic, someone at work today told me about one in Parsippany, but the directions were unclear. I was hoping your's was in parsippany.

    It must have been exciting for you.
