By early afternoon the rains of the past few days had finally stopped.
Almost everybody began drying out!
I watched Hershey come flying in and start to groom.
Up in the nest, Granola on the left was stretching while Raisin watched.
By early afternoon the rains of the past few days had finally stopped.

I watched Hershey come flying in and start to groom.
Up in the nest, Granola on the left was stretching while Raisin watched.
Having caught his fish with only his right foot,
Hershey needs to secure his grip for the flight to an eating perch.
The fish is still within his focal points as Hershey reaches to place his left foot for added grip.
Makes me a little dizzy just contemplating his bowed head, the forward flight and the downward vision…
This is Hershey.
I have watched Hershey for more than 4 years.
He got his name because he is the lightest colored bald eagle on Jordan Lake that I have seen.
All adult bald eagles have body and wing feathers that are brown,
usually such a deep brown that they often appear to be black.
But Hershey is a rich milk chocolate, hence his name.
