OMG!!!!

I think I spotted a juvenile eagle in the lake in the back of my house.

I saw it twice, could not get to focus well with the binoculars.

I try to take a snapshot with my point-and-shoot,

maybe you guys can help tell me what it is

snapshot! Is that an eagle?

Looks like one!

a pimped out eagle..look at the fancy colour

The Diva · 08-14-2007, 09:21 PM

heheheheh yeah,

It's dark now .I'll have to see if I can get another shot tomorrow.

It does look like an American Bald Eagle juvenile.

According to the Fish and Wildlife guys there are more than 1000 nesting pairs in here in Florida

I guess there's a good chance!

Yesterday he/she got a bit closer, mind you this shot was taken inside a screened area. It flew away when I got out

The bird has not been back ( or at least I did not see him)

Meanwhile, here are other shots of wildlife from the "hood"

A runaway wild turkey:

Bunny

shy deer:

Sand Hill Cranes

These guys are NOT shy....

And finally, the nasty nasty neighborhood traffic.. okay not wildlife per se , but you see what I mean
