SkyWatch Friday.....

It's Friday.....so what do we all do???
Look up! Look at the sky!What's up there??
The Red-Bellied sees it......

Spring is springing! I hope this maple tree knows what it's doing. Seems a bit early yet.

Next we drove to Henderson, KY.....
The sky through the bridge on the way across....
Why are we going to Henderson?......
To get to the slough next to the bridges we just crossed.....

....to check on the Eagle's nest. Nobody home today.....wait....

....there he is! Way out there in the trees!

Mike took this photo but was gracious enough to let me use it Be sure to stop by his blog and see another shot of this beautiful bird soaring in the blue skies.

Even this groundhog sat up to see the sky!
(Or did he hear about the eagle in the area and thought he'd better keep his eyes open before he became someone's dinner)
Look up!
What's in your sky?

How Cool Mary. I'll say it again, you need to write a childrens book. You have great stories.
I'm waiting for our Eagles to return. They had been here most of the winter till the creek froze, and I haven't seen them in a few weeks.

LOL, Mary - that was as good as many a commercial I've seen on the TV. Squirrel (is that star?) just too cute.

Rose said...

Did you get excited seeing the eagle! That is such a great shot...I have a soft spot for eagles. And I love the one looking through the bridge!

Thank you everyone!

Katney: Well, in all truth, I call all my squirrels "Star" and have no idea which one that particular one is. There were 3 out there playing around. This particular one will be in my Squirrel Sunday this week.

George said...

You (and Mike) got some great pictures of the eagle. This is a great sky watch post.

Beautiful Mary. What is the difference between a groundhog and a gopher?

So spring is in the air is it? It seems like nature knows more than we do and I trust it to tell me these things. :)

Mary said...

George: Thanks! Mike is actually a better photographer then I am :-) I'm not good at air shots.

Joan: Hmmm...A grounhog and a woodchuck are the same thing. A gopher is more like a prairie dog, I think...really don't know. I imagine they are all related and all marmots of some sort? Will have to research this. I have better photos of him that I will probably post on Monday. I have a lot of photos of stuff right now to post! I'm not sure I trust spring yet, but that tree is sure budding out.

Mary said...

Eve: I bet you look up every day...and with a smile on your face :-)
