This lady is absolutely gorgeous and by all appearances a great mom. From my local nest, this is the female Bald Eagle as she returns from a quick flight stretching those massive wings. It is interesting to watch and observe the differences between the two parents. She is quite laid back, not paying much attention to anything other than her eaglet. He, one the other hand, is constantly chattering anytime a perceived threat comes nearby, keeps his distance from the nest most of the time, and just seems kind of uptight.
