1/2 hour in Paradise

From our property....Driving south, we head into Yellowstone National Park in one mile. Driving north we go through Paradise Valley. We still marvel at the amazing place we live - in every direction....

We drove north about 30 miles or so through Paradise Valley in Montana yesterday - aptly named!

On the drive we saw 3 juvenile golden eagles, 6 wild turkeys, a kestrel, over 100 deer (white tail and mule deer), 50 to100 elk, 1 adult golden eagle, 1 adult bald eagle, 1 red tail hawk, 1 sharp shinned (?) hawk. I'm still sorting through the MANY photos.

We watched, and listened, as the 3 juvenile golden eagles squawked in the trees together. Then watched an adult golden eagle and a bald eagle wrestling in flight.

I think that about covers our 30 mile drive.

 

And, the scenery wasn't too bad either....

 

 

The 3 juvenile golden eagles put on quite a show for us....

And some of the white tail deer...

Yes, we live in Paradise - really.
