I know that this is very much not the best quality picture I have ever taken, but if you can decipher the details, that brushy bit in the middle is an eagle’s nest. The fluff of white in the center top is an eaglet and the dark shade on top of it is a golden eagle. Yes, it may not be the best picture in the world, but it was amazing to be focusing the camera on it and thinking, “Is that really the nest? Is that white fluff the baby? Is that the eagle? OMG, look at that!”
And there’s my magpie picture, actually taken by S. I love their tails, they’re such beautiful birds.
More details and probably photos later, but this was a brief moment with wi-fi access that I wanted to take advantage of! Back on the road now…

Oh wow! How lucky to be able to see an Eagle’s nest with a baby in it — no matter that the photo isn’t the best, it’s just fantastic to see. Thanks for sharing. I still remember the last time we saw a Bald-headed Eagle on our Verde River train trip. Unforgettable.

Sitting there and watching for them was a lovely way to spend an afternoon, too. We had beautiful weather!
