Lady Lake, the mother bald eagle at LL&H nest, came by to visit this morning and she really was easy to see against all the fog. I do wonder what she was so intently staring down at…

Jordan Lake: Godiva
Godiva, mother bald eagle at H&G nest, soared from the tree line and past me.

In other words those massive talons can exert up to about 400psi. Some grip!
