WALK0744 2 eaglets on a tree b and w 2015

The immature eagles had spent the afternoon playing king-of-the-hill, so to speak, with this dead tree as the prize roost.
I finally caught two of them, against a very wintery sky, as they tried to land at the same time.
The bird to the left is a 3 year old and the eaglet to the right is a 2 year old.
Given the size disparity, I would guess the bird to the left is male and the one to the right a female; my guess!

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!
