Eagles, 11-30-10. Had to go outside in the backyard to get this photo of two eagles atop nearby snag tree. Click to enlarge.

Fantastic Ed. We get the black & gray bushy-tailed nutcrackers climbing the apartment building walls. SOme people are silly enough to let them nest on their balconies, Big mistake. The gray are my favourite. Funny we never see the red sQuirrels near the buildings, They're smart, they stay in the bush away from people. Musat be wonderful to be able to look out a window & see eagles LIVE instead of having to rely on web cams.

Backyard view on 12-22-10. The osprey, red-tailed hawk, and eagle snag is back in business again. Never know who will stop by. First view is from the kitchen window. Had to walk into the backyard for the last two photos. Click to enlarge.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas
