Wild Bird Wednesday!
Last week was a great week for bird photos.
My neighbor across the street called me up and said,
"Esther, I know you'll want to see this.
Bring your camera.
There's an eagle in the tree in my back yard!"
 |
| I could hardly believe it! I'd been running to the lake on the other side of town to get pictures of eagles, and here was a big one right on the edge of our neighborhood duck pond! |
 |
| It made him a little nervous as I went in closer and closer to try for some great shots,... |
 |
| ...And off he flew! |
 |
| Just a couple of days later I spotted a large bird high in a tree top as my husband and I were on our way home from Searcy County. |
 |
| My husband graciously pulled over so that I could "zoom in". |
 |
| The large bird seemed unafraid, and just looked at us until my husband got out of the truck and made some noise... |
 |
| ...so that I could get a photo of him in flight. |
 |
| A red-tailed hawk is what my husband thinks this is... What do you think he is? Majestic! That's for sure! |
 |
| Just before the Marion County line we encountered these turkeys. "Walk on left facing traffic!" ...I don't think these wild turkeys had heard that line! |
Thanks for stopping by!
And in case you're wondering,
I came back from a blogging break on Rock4Today.

Beautiful captures and yes,that is a Red-tailed Hawk.
All great photos. The eagle is such a majestic bird.
Awesome shots of the eagle! It's a very handsome bird.
Hi esther Wow Imagine an Eagle coming so near to where you live. You got great shots of it and the Kite. Love the last shot and your caption
Very cool sighting of the eagle, Esther.. So close by, I hope it hangs around for awhile.. Maybe a new fishing spot.. Love the Redtailed hawk shots and the backside of the turkeys.. Awesome birds and photos. Have a happy day!
Great shots and so nice to see all three of these big birds.
Oh, how great to see the red-tailed hawk!
