Juvenile Bald Eagle climbs through fence for breakfast

An amazing – and lucky – encounter with this young Bald Eagle yesterday. I was actually observing a different juvy on a pole that was a good ways off hoping it would take off and give me a good view.

While sitting there, this young one flew in. It landed on the opposite side of a barbed wire fence and much to my surprise, proceeded to climb through the fence to reach a dead rabbit. I am guessing it had killed it earlier.  After enjoying its meal, it flew to a nearby pole.

Not the best quality of pics as I was shooting right into the sun but a fun and unusual sequence.  Scroll down to view the entire gallery.
