Bald Eagle Pair....Nest and all

I was SO disappointed when I saw how unfocused this photo was! But you get the idea of what was going on. It was amazing to watch this eagle being chased by these two hawks. I believe they are Swainson Hawks.

Side by side, and NOT happy about it!

At first, all I saw was the bald eagle sitting in the tree...but if you look VERY closely in the center of the tree you will see a GI-NORMOUS nest!!!!

Then I noticed another one flying around, and he was being chased by hawks...

This one is my favorite shot.

He was screeching to keep the hawks away.

Jack's Guitar

Jack was getting ready for his guitar lesson and I snapped a few pics when he wasn't paying attention.
