My office at work has the best window. I get to see moose and moose calves in the spring, an occasional feral cat and kittens, eagles, ravens and numerous chickadees. Yesterday was an eagle, raven, and magpie day.
The ravens and magpie kept harassing this poor eagle. You can see the magpie in the lower right just below the eagle - it kept creeping up and nipping at the eagle's tail feathers. Then he'd swing around and snap at it. The ravens were flying in and out, getting close but staying far away from that big beak. It was fun to watch.Two other people came into my office to watch also, so it is a bit distracting to getting work done.
Last summer I painted this picture for my friend who was retiring. This is that same spot with a very similar story, except in this one there were no magpies.

What a wonderful view into nature. Too bad it is at work. tee hee... Love your sketch. You captured the moment perfectly.
It IS the same spot and the same birds, how amazing. You made a beautiful painting last year.
How wonderful you see this from your office window!
Oh wow.. Lucky you to see an Eagle. Lovely painting you did of that scene last year. Funny how predictable they are. Almost same shot this year. Would love to see a magpie photo close up. Dont have then around here. DH said he grew up around them in Montana.
Would love to see an Eagle around here--I'm told we have them in Michigan...I'll keep watching.
Thanks for all your "nature posts".
Maybe we will get to visit Alaska some day??? It's #One on my "bucket-list." :-)
wow isn't that great! I can't believe it was practically the same view.
We are always so excited when we see an eagle...and you get to see them so much more than we do - awesome!
Amazing Wonderful view of birds and the painting is great:)
It has been a long long time since my last visit here...MY, How I have missed your wonderful adventures. Glad to see your cabin again in the winter...What a wonderful retreat. Your photos and stories again have touched my heart...They always have...and they always will...no matter how long between visits. Hugs!
So lucky to have a birdseye view!
