Finally! Bald Eagles on the Nest

This morning was sunny but cold enough for the trails on Peebles Island to be frozen and not muddy. Not as much ice as the other day so no ski poles.

I again carried the EOS M3 and 55-250mm lens in a backpack. I saw one of the eagles flying into the nest while I was still quite a way from the viewing spot. I grabbed a couple of shots of them both in the nest before one flew off. They were both off the nest eventually so there obviously aren't egg(s) yet.

These shots of the nest are JPG files straight out of the camera, cropped to 100% 1200x800 files.

And for reference, here is the un-cropped image resized to 1200x800.

Here is another White-tailed deer processed in Photoshop Elements 2018 from the RAW file. This image is not cropped, just resized.
