glorious double-creasted cormorant splashdown
Haw River
Tagconcentration
such an intense concentration on this adult bald eagle’s face
bright taloned feet
in another moment this 4 year old eagle will lift his wings up and back and snap those taloned feet forward
to land with assured practice in a high tree
better part of valor…
the 2 year-old, to the left, had landed a moment before this photo was snapped
the 4 year old landed, glared at the younger eagle, made a threat posture
and the younger eagle popped up off the limb and was gone
well-taloned
even when the eagle is heading downstream away from me, his well-taloned method of fishing is on display
vertical
having spotted a fish in the river, this 3 year old eagle easily flips up in the vertical and heads for the water
