I am linking up with Wild Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes
I wanted to share more of the adult and juvenile Bald Eagle photos from our trip to Blackwater NWR.
On the closeup you can see some white close to the beak and on the top of its head.
The is the juvenile Bald Eagle I shared on my previous post. And the same bird as in the photo above. I was told it maybe be a third year juvenile Bald Eagle.
The shots are above are my zoom in shots of this Bald Eagle perched in the tree.
Juvenile Bald Eagle and a Red-tailed Hawk. From the visitor center parking lot I was able to watch this juvenile Bald Eagle chasing this Red-tailed Hawk. It was quite the chase! The hawk gave up and went into hiding..From my photo I could see the dark area on the tail and wings..
To id the hawk I had to crop the larger shot above and now you can make out the brownish belly band on the Red-tailed Hawk.
The Blackwater NWR does not disappoint if you want to see a Bald Eagle.. The day before we were there a Golden Eagle was sighted..Also great news on the Blackwater Eagle's nest the day we were there one of the eggs hatched. And as of today two eaglets are in the nest...Here is a link to the cam: Friends of Blackwater_Eagle Cam

I do like eagles, we have a few sea eagles not many land ones.
Tell me why is the bald eagle called so, he is not bald.

Dearest Eileen;
These Bald Eagles sure look noble, don't they♡♡♡ I can only see them in the blog land:-)
Sending you Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
The eagle and hawk photos are amazing! I'd love to see a bald eagle here, but there isn't much chance of it. We do get Cooper's Hawks, Grey Hawks (kind of rare) and Harris Hawks. Plus a few others. I always love seeing them close. The birds in my yard don't agree however. :-)
Spectacular shots Eileen, you got some wonderful views. Thanks for sharing them.
Wow Eileen!
I've got to make it to Blackwater one of these days.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful experience. I've only seen an eagle once in the wild so I'm always envious of other's sightings but so joyous for you as well.
Love your shots of the bald eagle! Fantastic!
Fantastic shots of the Bald Eagle, especially that first one! Well done!
Amazing what beautiful!
This mighty eagle have captured beautifully Eileen!
My compliments.
You are blessed to be able to take all these stunning photos of our feathered friends.
