Hey!
Guess what? I have wicked good news!
Tami and I walked to the lake this week, hoping to get photos of the loons, but even though they were calling, she couldn’t see them. Not even with her really long lens and tripod.
So she turned her camera on the eagle nest. One of the adults was sitting its edge, surveying the kingdom, when all of a sudden a little wing lifted up beside it! Tami kept her camera on the nest, one finger on the button, and chanted, “C’mon baby, c’mon baby”
She pressed down hard on that button when the little head finally poked up
“YES!” she said, dancing in a circle. Did you see that Maxx? I got it! I got a picture of the baby eagle!”
While she’d been dancing, I hadn’t taken my eyes off the nest. “Um, Tami, I think you ought to -”
“Do you know how long I’ve been watching and waiting for a sign of the baby?” she said.
“Well – I think- you-”
“Everyone will be so excited when you post on the blog that we have proof!”
I grabbed Tami by the shoulders and turned her toward the nest, so she could see what I was seeing.
“OH!” she said, quickly putting the camera back up to her eye so she could snap away.
The baby had crawled up beside its parent!
I wonder . . . what is that baby looking at? Do you think there’s another in there?
Our maintence worker seems to think so . ..
