Gary's Outdoor Wanderings2

This blog is a visual record of my outings into the streams, lakes and forests of Tennessee and North Carolina by canoe, motor boat and motorcycle. I love photography and use that venue to record wildlife and wilderness scenes for my personal enjoyment. I enjoy writing short stories also and do so while out in the forests or on the lakes. I also am addicted to dogs as will be apparent as you read my blog. But, the canoe is my favorite means of escape and wilderness camping is a joy.

IMMATURE BALD EAGLES AT SOLEWAY, ON MELTIN HILL LAKE

The distance from camera to the eagles is enormous and quality may suffer. Apologize. These guys are very close to leaving the nest and making their way out into the world to impress Americans everywhere with their grace, beauty and power.

BEAUTIFUL OLD BARNS AT KYLE'S FORD, TN

BALD EAGLE BABIES ON THE CLINCH RIVER AT KYLE'S FORD - TENNESSEE

I have photographed these eagles a week ago and the babies were tucked way down in the nest and I couldn't see them. This week - today, they both were visable. One to the rear of the mother was active and moving a little. The one the mother was feeding is half exposed (beak and head) but the shots document their growth. I'll check em again next week when they will be walking about all over the nest. There are lots of pictures, each slightly different then the one before. Hope you enjoy them. Again, the distance to the eagles was amazing. Sigma makes a pretty good 600 mm lens and Canon makes a super camera in the 7D 35 mm.
