Breakfast With An Eagle
I had breakfast with an Eagle this past Saturday.
We had just experienced a previous day of very warm temps (a tease from Mother Nature). The early morning sunrise was gorgeous. The beginning of another teasingly warm day could already be felt. Our ice-over had mostly melted away.
Sunrise over Marshy Creek and Lippincott’s Channel Marker #3
I with my cup of coffee (and binoculars and cameras). Mr. Eagle arrived on Lippincott’s Channel Marker #3 with his breakfast.
American Bald Eagle
As I sipped and watched, he ate and watched. No words needed amongst friends.
Hard to beat a breakfast like this!
What a beautiful morning. Looks like Spring is coming your way!
Enough of this cold stuff, we are all hoping Spring is on it’s way! 🙂
Donna… I zoomed in on the eagle and saw that he also had a hot cup of coffee next to the fish AND he was reading the wildlife section of this morning’s Washington Post!!! 😉
Good eye, Steve, I thought he was doing more than just eating!! 🙂
Nice captures Donna! 🙂
Thanks HJ! 🙂
Getting either the wonderful color of the sunrise, or the eagle would have made good photos, getting them together is extra special!
Sure does, thanks Jerry!
What a gorgeous Chesapeake Bay sunrise. What a life!
To be an eagle, wow. wouldn’t it be awesome to fly like one too!!
Lovely hues and reflections, Donna.
Thanks Martha, I kinda thought it had a ‘painting’ look to it with the soft hues! 🙂
Very beautiful images Donna. That sunrise is just amazing!
Every morning, I’m usually up before sunrise, and I love to watch as the sky lightens over the water, which triggers the world to awaken. Such peace and serenity! Have an eagle appear just makes it that much better. 🙂
Beautiful sunrise and nice to view the eagle with you.
Thanks Jane, glad you enjoyed him also! 🙂
What a beautiful view and photographs… Thank you, love, nia
Thank you Nia so much!
Love the sunrise images with the eagle.
Thanks so much, they do mix well together. 🙂
You 2 must have synchronized alarm clocks
Some how we did. 🙂
That’s terrific! Any day you see an eagle is a good day!
It sure is! The more, the merrier for sure!!
What a way to start the day! Gorgeous photos, love the sunrise 🙂 x
It sure is! Thanks Becky!!
Amazing photos, and LUCKY you to get to have breakfast with an eagle! I know exactly where this is- growing up we kept a boat at Lippincott’s 🙂
Thanks BCM! We love this area, the chaotic summers and the quiet winters. And nothing better than being on the water in a boat. 🙂
Beautiful captures Donna! I just blogged about our first osprey sighting of 2014, back on 3/13. Have yours come back to roost? http://theeasternbay.com/first-osprey/
Congrats on your pair successfully returning Amanda! I’m working on my osprey post now, I was out of town during our area Ospreys’ return, they got to watch me return this season, lol. They are definitely back, I’m hoping we have a pair take possession of our platform this year.
