Eagles on the Wing

The other morning while I was out shoveling the driveway after yet another snow storm I noticed several eagles circling lazily overhead.

 

 

There quite a few young eagles hanging around with the older birds as you can see a mature eagle chasing after an immature eagle in this picture.

 

It must have been a wonderful morning for the birds to take wing because there was also a good sized flock of seagulls circling nearby as well.

 

It was quite a sight to behold after the dreary gray snowy day we had just had.

It certainly does make me feel special to get to witness these beautiful birds of prey overwintering in this area.  I hope that some decide to make it their home again in the future.
