Taken a few weeks ago on my most recent visit to my favorite bald eagle pair. Mom was sticking to the nest while Dad was a flurry of activity. Having finished delivering some additional nesting material, here he departs, launching off the rim of the nest.
Mother Nature has not cooperated and allowed me a visit since the day this image was taken. At that time, I figured they had little one(s) but could not visually verify that. I am hoping that I will be able to hike in again soon and, with any luck, find that the pair has a burgeoning family.
