oddly enough, this is a ring-necked duck, not a ring-billed duck – handsome by any ringed measure you use

three bald eagles

By neighdoctor November 21, 2014 three bald eagles

There were 3 bald eagles at Yates Mill Nature Preserve today. It is rare to see a single bald eagle over the Mill Pond. Today I was blessed to see 3. The first 2 photos are of the adults. The 3rd photo is of the adults chasing each other – sorry the photo is not better – but they quickly chased each other out of the reach of my lens. The 4th photo is of the 3 year old immature bald eagle. He/she was very interested in the action between the adults. Just like the teenager he is. He will have to make it through 2 more years before he is ready to find a mate of his own.
