The 3 year old eagle tried 3 times to pick up the same fish from the river. I was attempting to photograph him and not fall in…water this time of the year is cold… So I captured what I could from my perch on the edge of the riprap. Hope you enjoy the juvenile eagle’s efforts while getting a small taste of some of the challenges of wildlife photography!

new pair?
this pair of adult eagles chased each other on and off all day
wish I knew if they were sizing each other up for partnership
I do not know why the lead eagle’s tail is orange – the feathers are suffused with the tint
