Eclipse and Baby Owls/Eagle

I was all set up for the eclipse today with the big Nikon 180-600mm and a 1.4x teleconverter on a sturdy tripod and a solar filter on the front… and south-western Pennsylvania weather laughed at me.  A few minutes before totality, the clouds rolled in and block all of it.  20 minutes after that, the sun was mostly back out.  At least while hiking in the evening I found some wildlife to photograph.

More after the break.

This is what the sky looked like at totality.On the hike in the evening, I was on the way to the bald eagles nest I know is active and stumbled across another photographer whom pointed out an owl nest.

Can you see them?

After this, I hiked to the Bald Eagle nest and was lucky to catch the mama and newly hatched baby.
