We were down in a bit of hollow at this little lake. The light hadn't come over the mountain when we got there. There weren't many people at first, but by the time we left (my husband had to drag me kicking and screaming from there), you could hardly drive out of the place. It's a very small lake out in the middle of nowhere. Everywhere you looked there were eagles soaring on the thermals. I kept waiting for them to get close, but when they did they were moving too fast for me to get very good shots. It was unbelievable!!!

That must have been quite a sight! Thanks for the pix.
Paula, the two eagles close together were landing...I don't know if it was friendly or not. It appears to be a male and a female. The female, the one in front is leading in with her feet.
I just can't tell you how exciting it was. They were so beautiful riding the thermals that it took my breath away. They are so very regal, majestic...all those words. The wind was blowing and it was cold, my eyes were tearing (from the weather?), my makeup was getting ruined and I didn't even realize it....or care. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life...
