Yup, no matter where I go, I am going to find the eagles, you can be sure of that. Ha! Taken back at the end of May on our family vacation. This was one of a nesting pair near Kissimmee, Florida as it returned from an unsuccessful fishing trip.

I was struck by how much smaller the eagles down there were than the ones we have here in the west. I knew there were two different subspecies of my favorite raptor with the ones to the south being smaller but was surprised how noticeable the difference was. The two down there looked almost scraggly compared to the robust ones here.
