Eye to eye with a big bird

How do you read an eagle's expression?


A stern warning: "Don't try any funny business with me!"


Alert; "I see you there!"


Somewhat worried: "What are you up to?"


Interested: "I never saw a human so close before!"


On edge: "Is she planning to climb my rock, too?"


Resigned: "The price of fame. Have to put up with it, I guess."

On the other hand, they could have just been considering supper. Who am I to try to read the mind of an eagle?

White Rock beach, this afternoon. It's good to be home among the eagles again!

  2. Beautiful photos! I find it endearing how scraggly these mostly-majestic birds can sometimes get; I live at a raptor rehab center, and our very old resident bald eagle is the most bedraggled-looking creature imaginable.

  3. He definitely shows his attitudes doesn't he? I love the inquiring one - with his head tilted like he really is questioning your presence.

    What he really is saying is 'where have you been, my friend?' and "Welcome home"!

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
