A Baker's Dozen

Please view large... 12 EAGLES were watching over us today at our property as we worked on the new house. If you look closely you'll see 13 birds but I cheated just a bit. The sky was white and ugly so I layered over the flying eagle/blue sky shot from a couple of weeks ago. I've seen 5 in the tree at one time but never this many. I only had my 24-70 lense so this has been cropped a lot. I wish I had my zoom in the car!!
Great capture even if you had to crop it. Wow... so many eagles together is fantastic.

Glory be...I'd be stunned and delighted to see one eagle... but I think I'd be a little disconcerted to see 13 eagles looking down on me...!

WOW -- this is incredible!! And what a great omen that they've all gathered together to welcome you to the neighborhood!
March 17th, 2013  
@twistergirl No small animals or children. They sat there for HOURS just watching us! I walked right under the tree.
March 17th, 2013  
@pflaume Me too. I always take the camera down but I need to start putting the 70-200mm lens in the van for moments like this!
March 17th, 2013  
wowsiness--great capture !!!--i know,''it's a bummer when you don't have the right tool....happens to me all the time :)
March 17th, 2013  
This is amazing. I get excited when I see one around. You have cool neighbors.
March 17th, 2013  
WOW! What an amazing capture!
March 17th, 2013  
Wow, I thought they were supposed to be elusive! Or live really high in the mountains. You've shot them beautifully and love the tones you added.
March 17th, 2013  
That is one incredible meeting you captured.
March 17th, 2013  
@frida We see eagles daily here pretty much all year round but NEVER 12 in the same tree!!
March 17th, 2013  
@kwind Well that's eagles demystified for me :) It is our national bird and symbol...
March 17th, 2013  
Fabulous!!
March 17th, 2013  
What an amazing spectacle to behold. Love the fact that one is in flight.
March 17th, 2013

Cool. I saw a similar sight once. Can you believe I didn't have my camera. I went home to get it and my husband, but by the time I went back there wasn't a sign on them.
March 18th, 2013

Wow! I'm pumped if I see one at a time around here...
March 21st, 2013  
Beautiful.
March 21st, 2013  
wow! the eagles around here are so far back that even my zoom lens, with cropping, the shots are never sharp enough... its frustrating and makes me wish I had one of those telescopic lenses. This is great!!!
March 24th, 2013  
Holy Moley !!!!!! wonder if they were migrating
March 13th, 2016  
Oh wow that's a lot of eagles!!! Wonderful. I doubt you'll ever have rodent problems in your new house ;)
