Bald Eagle!!!
 
I had gone to check out Hershey and Godiva’s nest.
Hoping maybe to see one of them near the nest.
But it was an unknown adult bald eagle that caught my eye.
The eagle came streaking out of the next cove over.
There was a very angry momma osprey right on the eagle’s tail feathers.
She threatened the eagle until he left the area.
I managed to catch just a few moments of the action.
It was great to see a bald eagle again – it had been more than a week since my last sighting.

Ranger Cove
 
As I pulled into the parking area, I could see an osprey doing screaming dives into the treetops of the cove.
That kind of angry dive usually meant an eagle was intruding.
I gathered up my camera and headed down the path toward the water.
Got half-way down and an eagle screamed somewhere above me.  I froze in place.
Eagle got quiet and so did the osprey. I thought the eagle had flown out.
I finally eased down to the water’s edge.  
My friend eased down beside me as the osprey made another screaming run at the eagle.
Here is what exploded over our heads.  I honestly don’t know which adult eagle it is.
