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

a four year-old bald eagle snagging a fish for lunch
beating the odds
this 3 year-old bald eagle has beaten some tough odds
more than half the eagles born the same year as he was have died
no wonder then for his fierce look to the lake and his next fish
what you have
One eagle always wants what the other eagle has.
The 2 year-old eagle on the right had just caught a fish.
The 3-year old on the left tried to snatch the fish from the 2 year-old.
The fish was dropped and neither eagle won the engagement.
view
I felt privileged as this adult eagle flew in toward me and I could easily see the fish he had just caught.
fish delivery
Petruchio is dropping off a fish to Kate.
Look carefully: you can see her head directly below his breast.
You can also get a feeling for how much bigger Kate is than Petruchio by comparing the two heads.
Petruchio was at the nest for 43 seconds by my time stamps on the photos.
