Photograph Of The Day

Golden Eagle


Yes, there’s snow in the Sierra and Sharon, Hobbes (our mini Golden Doodle) and I did a mile or so but the action is starting to heat up down here near Fresno.

The eagles are hard to find this year at Millerton Lake because the water is so low. The trees the birds perch in to watch for fish are so far from the water that the birds are not in their usual places. I have not gone up yet to check on the Golden Eagles on the Madera side but I did see one perched in one of the usual places with my 10 power binoculars.

Today I went out to Madera county where we followed a pair of Goldens for the last three years. I am not quite sure what is going on with the pair this year but I got a photograph of one of the Goldens in a light rain on top of the nest tree. There was no activity in the nest that I could tell for the almost two hours the two of us (the bird and me) sat there. So here is a teaser for now.

Patience is a wildlife photographer’s best friend.
