Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

You don’t mind more eagle pix, do you?? 🙂

I saw TWO bald eagles that day (about a week ago now), as well as two golden eagles or juvenile bald eagles; I didn’t have my binoculars then, and I couldn’t tell from a distance. When I went back much later with my big gun (as opposed to my wimpy phone), one bald eagle was in that tree, which seems to be the favorite tree (and why not, with that perfect stick, err, branch?).

Non-moisture-bearing clouds were overhead, but in the distance, a bit of sunlight was shining on Utah’s La Sal Mountains. Bit of a messy cottonwood foreground, but you get the idea. 🙂 (Who spotted the raven doing a photobomb flyby in the middle background?)

This is a strange image, I know, but I was zoomed in as I initially scrolled through the pix on the computer (culling out-of-focus ones), and when this pic came up, it was cropped like that, and I liked it. 🙂 To each, their own, eh?

A more typical eagle-launch image. Too bad s/he flew away from me, but it was warm-ish, critters were out, and eagle had other fish to fry (not in dry Disappointment Creek, though) and things to do!

Wow, do I love seeing them. 🙂

(The title is a reference to a phrase I sometimes see about “bird-on-a-stick” pix: portrait shots of birds perched on branches. As a non-bird photographer, I figure I haven’t yet gotten bored with shooting birds or raptors of any kind on sticks or branches of any kind!)
