There was an intruder at the New Hope nest.
This 3 year old eagle (looks like a ratty hawk) had been circling just above the nest causing Kate (the mother) to scream.
Then the intruder dropped out of sight to reappear zooming directly across the nest about 5 feet up.
You can barely see a white sliver of Kate’s white head below the intruder and to the left at the rim of the nest.
Petruchio (the father) soon showed up and chased the 3 year old out of sight.
two fishers – ring-billed gull and bald eagle
this early morning shot of an adult bald eagle and his fish was interesting…
I caught the sun, several branches of trees and the glow of fins and feathers
glorious double-creasted cormorant splashdown
here it is, Monday morning, and the eagles are arguing…
the younger of the two eagles, the one to the left, is the one who started the ruckus
by trying to grab a fish from the 4 year old, who dropped the fish during the melee
such an intense concentration on this adult bald eagle’s face
