A Beaver and a Bald Eagle...

I am fortunate to have a friend and fellow blogger "Natural World" Through My Camera" share his local wildlife haunts. On this particular day a Beaver showed itself a couple times and I was able to get a few photos. The early morning hours often times doesn't allow for good photography. This particular morning the beaver showed up a little later than usual and I got a few pics. This has been a very good year for sighting Bald Eagles. Reasons could be many, but I always feel so lucky to see them and even more privileged to photograph them. This particular individual was several hundred yards away but I couldn't help myself in trying for a few good pics.  

A Beaver...

Just passing by...

Good day for a swim... 

He's about to disappear...

A Bald Eagle maintains its perch...
Has something caught its eye... 

Contemplates an exit...

Launches out of the perch...

Wings are spread and it banks to the left...

And... He flies above and to my left...

Hi Al...Love those little critters,but not everybody is fond of them damming up a stream!!
They have fallen a fell tall popular down by the river, and laid them right across the road !
Nice pictures of the Eagle you are so luck to get to see one close
