I could sense the three year-old eagle’s hunger.
Even her talons were flexing in anticipation of a strike.

Tagblue fog
The two-year old bald eagle was fishing in the fog on the river this morning.
I indulged my whimsy and let the fog tint my photo in blues – hope you like it.
blue sky
Nothing makes a fall sky more Carolina blue than the flight of an eagle.
In this case it is a two year-old, going on 3 in January, bald eagle.
Note the symmetric waves of primary feathers beginning their molt journey – this is a two-year old sequence.
calculating look
now I would definitely call that a calculating look on the face of this 3 year old bald eagle
just what she is calculating is her secret…
aloof
At the age of two years, this young eagle has quite a regal outlook on life.
He almost totally ignored me even though I was only about 200 feet from him.
His demeanor glowed in the golden hour light this morning.
weather stirred eagles…
I watched the juvenile eagle soaring along just below the ridge of trees.
Suddenly an adult eagle took exception to the intruder and a brief skirmish ensued.
The adult trounced the juvie.
Wish I had been close enough for the photos to be sharper,
but thought y’all might like to see the encounter anyway.
The storms of the past few days have made for an influx of birds I don’t know
and that makes life very interesting!
