Bald Eagle Hunting - 8.16.02
As always, "hunting" is done with a camera, and not with a gun. Great day. This yearling bald eagle chick is still new to soaring (I witnessed a number of "trips" and "stumbles" and landings are far from perfect, but s/he's beautiful. No sign of the parents today, although *my* parents saw them last weekend. I was in the kayak, so quality varies with the current. My focus was also a hair off- Apologies. I'll get more soon.
This is a series of the baby soaring
A series of the Bald Eagle nest
A series of the eagle chick in a tree
A "must see" series - As close as one dares
After the chick took off and soared a bit, s/he landed back in the nest.
