By Carp Brunch

On the shoreline to the left of the four-year-old bald eagle you can see what he is interested in. He has flown in to get himself a piece of a carp carcass. In some ways I think the plumage of a four-year-old bald eagle is quite stunning. As to the youngster’s desire to have a piece of that dead carp, well, that’s on the eagle’s brunch menu but not mine!

This 2-year-old bald eagle made a powerful horizontal launch past Captain Doug and I. We were totally ignored as the youngster set out along the lake’s shoreline to challenge another immature bald eagle.

By Fledgling Bald Eagle

You can hear the wind and see the rock ‘n’ roll of the boat as Captain Doug and I watched this fledgling bald eagle at Jordan Lake. Like all youngsters he was curious about everything that was going on around him.

There was enough coolness in the air while Captain Doug and I were cruising the lake that it stirred up the bald eagles. The youngster that is at the top of the first photo is a two year old and it is chasing one of this year’s fledgling. In the second photo that is the same two year old to the left and the same fledgling to the right. They were having a good time chasing each other.
