    I play volleyball at our local park. When i got there on Thursday I noticed they had an orange barrier/netting around part of the park. I thought that was kinda odd. I then noticed some people were taking pictures. 

    Later found out that a bald eagle has made this their home along with three young eaglets. So that is pretty cool.


    Not my pics but here they are:

    Came into my den last night and lo and behold there was a two inch wide spider (probably a very large wolf spider) on the wall behind my desk.  Wish I'd thought to grab a photo!  Anyway, I grabbed a clear glass and a stiff piece of card stock in an attempt to capture and release it outside.  But it got away and ran into the little space under my record shelving.  
    Happy LP browsing you scary monster!

    Funny. I had a small spider i was going to release
     Then I thought I'd leave it to catch any other bugs that may sneak in. It too went under my record shelves!
    2 inches is big! Wouldn't want that crawling on me at night.
    Sweet dreams!

    This juvenile Starling was chillin' in my front hedge and didn't fly away when I opened the front door with my big lens in hand.

    It's an older Nikon D7200 with a Sigma 100-400 lens. It's a nice wildlife lens. I don't use it that often, probably because it's heavy to travel with, and that's mainly when I use that camera. But occasionally I'll toss it in the car if I think I might be passing some animals.
