Two Sisters ~ Have Cameras, Will Travel: March 2011

March 29, 2011

Everything was a little "squirrely" today!

Well, I got to the eagles' nest late today and missed Hiram flying in with food. So, to make the best of it, I decided to "focus" (no pun intended) on photographing the squirrels today.

It must have been dinner time, because there were probably around 20 - 30 squirrels scampering around and eating acorns at the Shiloh Park's visitor center. They were so close to me that I could actually hear them crunching as they ate on the acorns.

1...2..3... Fire!!!!!!!!!!

Well, this little guy cracked me up because he was at the base of the Shiloh National Park cannon with his paws on the handle. It looked like he was ready to fire off a cannon!

Look who I found in the meadow!

The Catch of the Day

Off Hiram goes back to nest with the catch of the day!

A Good Day Fishing!

I went to the river just to see if I could see Hiram fishing. Much to my surprise, here he came right at me with a fish! I was also surprised to see a dear friend and her children down at the river looking for Hiram too. Her children were so excited over how big the fish was! What a treat for us all that day!

Back with fish for Julia and the babies

Hiram caught a fish and is now flying back to the nest to feed his family.

Off to the River!

Flying in for a Landing!

Here's Hiram coming back to check on Julia and the babies.

Isaiah 40:31

Did you know that eagles are mentioned in the Bible 26 times?

Shiloh National Park Eagles

So here's my latest obsession - photographing two American bald eagles at the Shiloh National Park. Meet Hiram and Julia - I apologize Julia is not showing you her best side. She's tending to their newly hatched baby eaglets. Here's a link to a website that will show you Julia feeding her little ones. http://www.shiloheagles.com/ (Thanks to Ken Crawford for the video and Jay Turner for putting together such an awesome website that will give you more info on the eagles.)
