Jordan Lake, Haw River: Oh Joy!!! The fledgling bald eagle was going to land very, very close. I concentrated. Snapped a photo and got the moment of intent just before the landing. The fledgling disappeared into the boughs of oak leaves. I waited. Then I waited some more figuring he would get hungry and fly out. 1 hour and 20 minutes later I was still waiting, and, had to leave for an appointment. The youngster won the patience round, by default! Ah, well, I did get us a great look at his precise landing. Did you notice the set of talons he has???
