It brightened up mid-day yesterday. I spose’ the cloud layer thinned out. It seemed like there were eagles everywhere. Funny how that happens. An hour and a half later I could not spot an eagle anywhere. Raining now and supposed to rain through Saturday evening when it will turn to snow. Not much accumulation expected then, perhaps an inch they are guessing. Sounds like I may not be able to get out and shoot much until next week. Will try if I get an opportunity…

When I arrived at one of the eagles nests this morning about a half hour before sunrise on this cloudy morning. It looked like the male was in the nest moving a stick. It looked like the female perched high on a branch above the nest. I tried to set my camera for the best possible setting for this light or more likely lake off. I ended up at 6400ISO and 400 on the speed Aperture at 6.3 which is as open as I can get. The eagle in the nest that looked like the male. Looked up and started screeching. Then flew up and tried to run the eagle on top off. At first I thought they were going to attempt mating but the perched eagle refused. The male flew to another tree. The eagle perched up high that I think was a female then flew off. The male gave chase and chased it out of sight. When I get home I see that the eagle that was perched above the nest was an intruder. It looked like a female but had a dark spot of feathers on the head and dark tips on a few tail feathers. Ya never know. With the light had been better. I was surprised the pics were as good as they were, good enough to let me see what was really happening anyhow. Still makes me wonder where the female mate was…
