Jax Eagle Pix Blog
Bald Eagle Blog, where I share my regular encounters and photos of Bald Eagles.
If you read my last blog post, you read that I thought my season for photographing the local bald eagles was pretty much over.
Well…. That may not quite be the case.
Earlier this week, I decided to take a little hike through the woods at a local park. I really wasn’t expecting...
Hello everyone. I hope you are all doing well! This may very well be my last Bald Eagle field report of the season. Typically my Bald Eagle season runs from October through early April. It basically coincides to when the trees are bare and I’m able to see the...
Being able to photograph and share my pictures of the eagles is only part of the enjoyment I get from spending time with the eagles. I never get over just being able to observe these incredible birds. To think, just a few years ago, there was only a SINGLE nesting pair in New Jersey...
Greetings everyone. I hope that you all are doing well. I’m back from my annual trip to Bombay Hook Wildlife Refuge near Dover, DE. I’ve been going for a few years. This has been an amazing place to observe and photograph huge numbers of Bald Eagles that...
As the season where I'm able observe & photograph the local Bald Eagles winds down, I thought I'd look back at a few of the better photos I've been able to get this year and share the backstory of what went into capturing this photo.
I've mentioned before the element of luck that goes into...
If you've followed my blog, you'e aware that I've been following the same pair of eagles for the past few years. This is the pair that I call John & Sandy.Over the past few weeks, Sandy has been sitting on the nest and John has stayed close by keeping an eye on things.I’d...

Greetings from soggy New Jersey! It seems that it’s been raining for weeks! This has put a big damper on my ability to get out and see the local eagles, so this weeks field report will be fairly short.I do have some exciting news about John & Sandy! Though their nest...
Greetings one and all. This past week was not at all conducive to my getting out and seeing the local eagles. Between some torrential rain storms and very strong winds pretty much all week, I only got out twice. Fortunately, I did see eagles both times.
A quick FYI on the...
Hello everybody. I hope everyone has had a good week. We’ve had some beautiful Spring weather here in NJ over the past week. The daffodils and forsythias are starting to bloom and the trees are beginning to get buds.
I actually had to cut my grass this past week. I...
Hello everyone. I hope everybody had a good week. Unfortunately, there isn’t to much to share in the way of a field report. We had a lot of rain here in New Jersey this past week, which limited my ability to get out and check on the local Bald Eagles.I did get out on 3...

Greetings everyone. I hope everyone had a good weekend. Here in NJ we've been experiencing a touch of Spring the past few days with temps in the 60's. The local eagles don't seem to mind the warmer weather. I got out 4 times last week to check on the eagles and were able...
Hello everyone!. I hope everyone is doing well.I have some exciting news to share! It appears from my observations that John & Sandy are expecting!
I’m able to observe their nest from a safe distance and on three separate days this week, Sandy was sitting in the same spot...
In last week’s blog post, I shared my ‘early years’ as a photographer, talked about the various genre’s that I enjoyed and finally my realization that I probably wasted 15 years as a photographer taking crappy pictures with an expensive camera and thinking I knew...
I thought I’d take a break for a week in writing about bald eagles and share some of my background as a photographer and how after many years I ended up with a love for observing Bald Eagles and photographing them.
As long back as I can remember, I had a love for photographs. You...

Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a good weekend and enjoyed the Super Bowl.
The temperatures warmed up here in New Jersey over the past week and that seemed to push the large number of eagles in my area out. Where I saw 15 eagles last Saturday at a local park, I only saw 3...
Greetings everyone. I hope that you all have had a good week.
I was able to get out looking for eagles 4 times this past week and found them 3 of the 4.
I’ve recently learned of the nest location of the pair that I routinely see. (John & Sandy). Though the nest is on...
In this weeks Blog post I thought I’d share some interesting facts about Bald Eagles that I hope you’ll find interesting.
As I’m sure you’re aware, the Bald Eagle is symbol of our country representing strength and freedom. Originally, Benjamin Franklin was...
This past week, I got to experience a large number of Bald Eagles in my area which made for some great photo opportunities. In this weeks blog, I’m going to share the reasons why they were around in such large numbers and share some of the photos that I was able to...
Well Winter has finally arrived here in New Jersey with two blasts of snow over the past week as well as some very cold weather which was enough to freeze many of the local ponds and lakes.
This is significant in eagle behavior as eagles will fly south only far enough to find open...
I want to introduce you to my favorite pair of Bald Eagles, John & Sandy.
Why John & Sandy? I named them after my in-laws. Sandy always seems to be complaining about something to John and like my father in-law, he just puts up with it.
That's Sandy on the right...
Greetings all.
I went in search of the eagles 4 times last week and only managed to find them once. It was a crazy week of weather here in NJ with heavy rain, strong winds and some coastal flooding. Did this have anything to do with the eagles not being around last week? Who...
I’m sure you’re wondering how I got into photographing Bald Eagles? If I go back 5 years, I could have never imagined that I’d end up an Eagle photographer.
When COVID hit, my regular photography was no longer possible and I was looking for another genre to explore that I...
Welcome! This is my first post to what I plan to be a regular dialog regarding my adventures as a Bald Eagle Photographer.
I am presently taking an advanced photography course that will last about a year and the first question the instructor asked us to start the very first class was,...
I try and get out to 'visit' my local eagles 4-5 times a week and generally can find them about 75% of the time. Most of the time, they just hang in their favorite tree. During these times, I wait with my camera ready hoping that they'll give me something intersting to photograph....
