and I hated every second of it. I was shooting with both a cell phone camera and my bridge camera. It is a real drag trying to use a viewfinder when I am used to looking at a 6 inch LCD screen. I use my right eye to look through the viewfinder and that eye is starting to show the effects of cataract clouding. It is only in the beginning stages but there is just enough distortion to make it miserable. It did not dawn on me to try and use the 3 inch LCD on the camera, but that is not always easy. Then when I got home I had to upload the photos which is a time consuming drag. I am so used to no SD card and no uploading. The photos just magically appear online. So simple, cheap and easy. And of course the cell phone camera runs rings around the bridge camera as far as shots turning out right. With the bridge camera I get a lot of rejects, but the cell phone camera gets it right on almost every shot. I am just spoiled by my Pixel.

My brother who lives in Utah has been monitoring the Southwest Florida Eagle Cam and he got me addicted to watching the nest. Last year I started watching after the chick had fledged and didn't get to see much. But this year I was watching it every day in December waiting for the eggs to drop. Harriet dropped two eggs right around Christmas and both hatched a month later. They are now almost three months old and fledged about two weeks ago. Both chicks are doing really well learning how to hunt. So I watch these guys every single day and I almost feel like a dad to E10 and E11. I decided to cruise on down to Fort Myers to see the nest in person. It was really cool. You can get to within about 50 yards of the nest and there are four eagles in the area putting on a show.
I started sending photos to my brother and he called me and told me to wave so he could see me on one of the three cameras. He found me pretty easy since they have 360 degree camera also. Some of the photos are from the cell phone and some from the bridge camera. See if you can guess which one took which photo just by looking at the photos. Since I am a bird photographer I feel the eagle cam is way more entertaining than any program on TV.
