From Onondaga Lake, 08-20-2025, this morning’s heavy rain didn’t keep Babs away! She perched facing west—right where the Great New York State Fair is kicking off today. Judging by her look, I think she’s less than thrilled about the ruckus of ferris wheels, sky rides, and music echoing across the lake. Looks like her late summer roosting spot might be a little too close to the action. Poor Buster… he’s probably in for another round of grumbling!

Buster and Babs gave me quite a show at Onondaga Lake during the early eaglet-rearing season. Teaming up in the tall pines, one of them circled from above while the other waited below, trying to flush out a squirrel. The squirrel was clever, darting back upward into the thickest part of the tree. But these two weren’t about to give up—they stomped and pressed until the little guy tumbled out. In a twist of luck, the squirrel managed to slip away under their watchful eyes, leaving Buster and Babs to regroup for their next hunt.

From Onondaga Lake – July 8, 2025
Fresh off a successful fishing trip, this eagle paused long enough for a regal portrait before delivering dinner to the impatient, squawking brood. I thought this guy deserved the full treatment — a true master of both the hunt and the pose.

“And here he comes, folks—WrongWay Peachfuzz, the only eagle who can turn a simple landing into a three-act comedy! Off the tree trunks, into the treetops, and… down he goes! But wait—he’s back up and claiming it was all part of the routine! From Onondaga Lake, 7-27-2025, another awkward yet technically successful touchdown!” One of my last images of this guy!

From Onondaga Lake — This eagle exploded off its perch in what looked like a training run for a juvenile watching from a distance. It swung wide over the lake, nearly three-quarters across, dropped into attack mode, skimmed the water for a moment, then soared right back to its perch. Hopefully Jr. got the message. 08-08-2025, early morning.

That scowl! Caught Babs cranking this morning (08-07-2025) near the nest, in her usual perch at Onondaga Lake — and yes, I know it’s Babs. That signature look of disapproval gives her away every time. Pretty sure she was gearing up to let Buster have it for having way too much fun. Someone's morning just got interesting.

Caught up with my good friend Buster yesterday (08-05-2025), not far from his usual haunts along Onondaga Lake. He looked strong—maybe even flashed me a hint of a smile. I told him to rest up… after all, keeping up with the chicks and two female adults can take a toll on even the most seasoned eagles.

"Caught this beauty sunning itself in the early evening glow on 07-28-2025 at Onondaga Lake—wings outstretched like royalty. One of my favorites from the season… might just be the front cover of my new eagle booklet!"

After watching Mom launch into the sky like a feathery rocket, Junior gives it a go… either trying to copy her graceful takeoff, or just really, really hoping she dropped a fish mid-flight. Hard to say if it's admiration or appetite — but those wings are working overtime! Onondaga Lake 07-29-2025

This recently fledged juvie is still getting the hang of things—today's challenge: landing gracefully in heavy winds. Kinda looks like it just got back from a horse ride, but it's doing its best, using those strong talons and legs like rudders to steer into a safe landing. This guy has had quite the learning curve, having slammed into bushes, trees, and even a few unsuspecting eagles along the way. Onondaga Lake, 07-27-2025.

This statuesque eagle stretched to the sky, facing the setting sun, seconds before liftoff! Bathed in warm, golden light, it stood tall and focused, as if taking in the last glow of the day before launching into the wind.

One thing you never do... sneak up behind an adult eagle—especially when he's “resting”!
Let’s just say Papa made it very clear that nap time is sacred and interruptions are not welcome.
Lesson learned: Respect the king's quiet time.
