Seeing Double

 We probably see more golden eagles than 99% of the people in this world but I never tire of the sightings. This morning as I left for classes I was given the gift of a more unusual treat - a bald eagle sitting on a fence post.

He put up with me for quite a while but finally decided to take off for another locale. In this first photo it looks as if he has something in his talons but it is just the motion of his movements. This shot is slightly out of focus - unfortunate for me!
 The shots of him sitting, however, are much crisper. Look at that beak!
Yesterday we had another visit from the usual suspect. He was being harassed by magpies as he took a rest on the ground near the llama corral.
