Broward Eagle Nest | Lee Smith Photography

Birds of Prey over South Florida

Photos by lee Smith

I traveled to Western Broward to locate some of my favorite birds to photograph – Birds of Prey. I located the Eagle nest, a Red Shouldered Hawk and a young Osprey. The Eagle was a bit shy and did not offer a real clear shot, but I will visit her again.

Mother Eagle Feeding Baby Eaglet – Pembroke Pines, FL

It was a bright cloudless day in Pembroke Pines. I decided to take a quick trip to see Broward’s only known eagle nest. I was hoping to see one of the eaglets in the nest. After 150 shots, I could not tell how the photos came out because of the bright light and photographing south into the sun, but when I got home and reviewed the images – I one got one photo where I could see the eaglet.
