Young American

The Bald Eagle,  the United States National icon is an extremely fantastic creature to watch and photograph. I have been fortunate to follow a pair of these amazing birds over the past three seasons. This year produced three young ones and they have been fascinating to watch grow. Knowing that the Eaglets were beginning to get out on their own a bit, sharping their flying and fishing skills I thought I would make my way to their nesting area and grab a couple of shots to share with you.levee rd-7-10-16_0058 copylevee rd-7-10-16_0030 copylrlevee rd-7-10-16_0069 copylr

Eagle, Osprey & Kingfisher

  • It never fails when you’er trying to capture images of Mother Nature’s critters. As soon as you pack up “BAM” the shot you were waiting hours for is right in your face.  When photographing Wildlife you are always fighting the weather. It’s cold, it’s snowing or raining or it’s just to darn hot to stand very long in the sun, but if you want the shot you have to be patient,however, sometimes your “Adventure” just does not produce a lot of results. After a week of crappy weather here in west central Ohio my “Advertures” only produced and Eagle, Osprey and a Kingfisher. Check out more of my photographs www.jhp1.com

By the time of this post the second will have hatched.birds94_0034 copy Plenty of food (fish today) is required to keep up with the demands of the young ones, not to mention their daily requirements.
