Weird weather today, Sun then thundershowers, then Sun and so on. Went out to my local eagles nest for some shots, the two eaglets were home, but ma and pa were away. The sky went from black to bright blue, Ec had to be adjusted from 0- +2. On the way home I stopped by the local Osprey nest and there were the young Ospreys.

Thanks for looking.

Gary, when the eaglets are in the preflight stage, how often do the parents return to the nest, and when might be the busiest times. I was there for 3 hours today, and never a glimpse of the parents. I assure everyone that I was not spooking them, I was well hidden.
