Necedah Wildlife Refuge: Adolescent Bald Eagle

Eagle Guarding Nest

Bald Eagle: Just Around Suppertime

While this nest is one of the easiest to view, the lighting never seems right and with cloudy, rainy conditions when I tried to shoot these photos, I was again disappointed with the lighting.

This Eagle flew in bringing a fish to the young.

She landed on the nest and proceeded to feed her Eaglets.

I counted at least two Eaglets on the nest.  Eventually, the other adult Bald Eagle flew in, but with the sun already down and the light fading the shots didn’t turn out very well.

Bald Eagle: Swooping for Fish

In the photo’s center a Bald Eagle perches, watching for fish.

When he spots one, he swoops out, catches it, eats it and returns to his perch.
