Raptors all over the Lake!
 
This pair of adult eagles spent several minutes circling each other before straightening out and together heading west.
 
 
The fledgling osprey on the left has a fish.  The fledgling bald eagle on the right wants it!  The osprey held onto his meal.
 
 
A female fledgling very proud of her fish.  She caught it, went to a perch and removed its head before flying off to find a safer place to eat.
 
 
Some time later I realized I was looking at a now well-fed female juvenile osprey!
 

The imperative for Life is to Live.
This is one of this year’s fledgling bald eagles. The injury to its wing is large.
Yet, he is fishing successfully.
Animals realize something is different when injured like this.
But the imperative stands: live.
This eaglet will keep flying and fishing until there is no life left.
I hope he is the 1 in 10 of each year’s fledglings that makes it to adulthood.
