Taking lunch to my husband three days ago, with my camera tagging along proved to be a success with seeing and capturing a new lifer for me, the Yellow-bellied Flycatcher.
Could it happen again the next day? I had to try! So I told my husband I’d deliver lunch again. 😉
No new bird that day, but there was a nice variety in the 15 minutes I birded.
Heading into our woods to look for the little ones, I heard behind me the distinct loud chattering of Bald Eagles coming from our cove. I quickly about-faced and headed down to the water to look for them instead.
Sure enough, across the creek up in the tree where they like to sit was a pair of Bald Eagles having quite the discussion.

When I saw the clue of the left Eagle hop a couple times to the left on its branch, I got ready. There’s going to be a take-off!
Sure enough!

That was so awesome as I watched it turned right to circle back and head out to the river!
In the next few minutes, four more birds stopped by for a photo session with me.

That was certainly a lot of fun! So much so, I delivered lunch again the next day! 😊
