I enjoy photography and spend much time out with my camera, many times with the eagles who migrate to my area. I have changed the way that comments work now as a result of multiple spam this past month. I wish all of you who stop by a continued love for this beautiful creature.glohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14705315504872830390noreply@blogger.comBlogger3161100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1077344019558408612.post-81992057412605056472010-03-01T08:42:00.000-08:002010-03-01T08:47:39.159-08:00Why Is the Eagle Count down in our Country

Oh I wonder will it ever be the sameMy love of eagles unexpectedly led me on a journey I never knew lied ahead. I have lived the ups and downs and the agony and the ecstacy of these magnificent birds.

So Disappointed. I have spent hours today making and timing this video for all of you. Then it took You Tube hours more to upload it only to disable the audeo after all of that. They have become very particualr about what can be used as audeo on their sight whether or not you have purchased a copy of the track and upload it from your computer you still can not use it on You Tube for the most part

I am so thankful that this lady lived to see her so Beloved Birds make it off of the Endangered Species list. This must have been a thrill for her.Homer will never be quite the same without her and many eagles have a bit of life adjustment to make.
