Just when I'm wondering what to take a photo of on this dull rainy afternoon, Larry informs me that there are two eagles in the cottonwood. This tree is about 200 feet from the house, on our neighbours front property line. I tried taking a shot through the open window (too many branches in the way), went outside, came back inside to put new batteries in, tried to keep the rain drops off the camera lens, etc.
The eagles are in the same position in both shots, it's just that in the second shot I am much closer to the bottom of the tree. I tried to get even closer, but stepped on a big branch that broke with a loud crack and one eagle flew off.
They look as pissed off about the rain as I am.
Since our chicken coop is only about 200 ft away, I hope they aren't eyeing up dinner.

Yum, Chicken dinner. We have a pair down the street in the neighbors back yard. I want to sneak back there and get some pictures... guess I should ring the doorbell and ask instead!
