brianfroggie.bsky.social @brianfroggie.bsky.social · 24/02/2025Spotted a Bald Eagle on my hike last night. Spent about 10 minutes photographing it and decided to move 2 feet to the left and discovered its partner hanging out just below the tree line peeking out. It’s so amusing that the optical illusion makes the lower Bald Eagle look fake. 1111

brianfroggie.bsky.social @brianfroggie.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Patience pays off. Was hoping for an exchange to happen between the two Bald Eagles. Was watching one #Eagle perched on a branch for about 35 minutes, would occasionally hear the other Bald Eagle call from a distance. All of a sudden, it happened. So lucky to witness and capture this moment. 000

brianfroggie.bsky.social @brianfroggie.bsky.social · 14/12/2024I spent an amazing afternoon tracking a Bald #Eagle in Contra Costa County. I focused on the #bird atop a branch as another eagle descended on it and they switched places. I felt very fortunate to be able to witness such an event.
