This male Bald Eagle is reflecting what many folks were doing / feeling right at that hour. He was crouching down and ready to get the heck out of there. This is the male of the pair I watched all spring and much of summer along the South Platte River. They have spread out now that their little one has left the nest but I hope to see them again in six months or so at the same spot.
