I will ߘ. Got most of what I was hoping to catch the first trip, but these were just not coming out to play around Miami area or the parts of the park we hit.

I have not seen them south of I75- next time try farther north. they like the agricultural areas west of the cities

I always thought Eagles were intimidating. But I wouldn't want a close encounter with one of these either!
Love that first image. Very powerful.

they are very interesting birds for sure- very smart and not too shy. I enjoy every minute I get to share with them
