Kate going to the nest with a fish for Resolute.
Resolute has begun to branch: to jump up on low branches.
First flight in about 10-14 days.
He is also beginning to feed himself.

red-breasted merganser
2 year-old bald eagles will do just about anything to get a meal …
especially if it means little work on their part.
I watched the gull catch the fish and suddenly drop it.
The young eagle swooped in,
snagged the fish from right at the lake’s surface
and headed for shore where he consumed the gull’s catch.
