Description
I spotted these two Bald Eagles in a tree on my drive home, after a morning where I had seen almost nothing worth photographing, so it was a great end to the day! A juvenile, probably 3rd year (so still some brown in the head feathers) with an adult, enjoying some time together. The sky in this image has been replaced with one more interesting than the original.
The Bald Eagle has been the national emblem of the United States since 1782 and a spiritual symbol for native people for far longer than that. It is not always so majestic in habits: it often feeds on carrion, including dead fish washed up on shore, and it steals food from Ospreys and other smaller birds. At other times, however, it is a powerful predator. Look for them soaring in solitude, chasing other birds for their food, or gathering by the hundreds in winter. Once endangered by hunting and pesticides, Bald Eagles have flourished under protection.
