Joe Overstreet Rd

This morning I went to Joe Overstreet Rd in Kenansville, FL. It was cloudy, but perfect for Bald Eagles. Between driving in on Canoe Creek Rd and JO itself I saw 10-12 Bald Eagles. There were also a bunch of other birds there too. Check it out!

A car on the far lane away from the breakfast sent everyone into the air.

The Fish Crows seem tiny next to a Bald Eagle

See the blood on the Bald Eagle’s beak?

… and no surprise, the Bald Eagle wins!

There were a pair of Bald Eagles off Canoe Creek Rd as I was leaving. This one was in a pine tree…

… the other was in a nearby dead snag.

What a day! There were a lot of Bald Eagles. There seems to be a lot more than in recent years. This is so great to see! JO rarely disappoints. I can’t wait to go back again soon!
