The male Bald Eagle at my local nest on a cool, wet and cloudy day back in May. Light was horrible so I was relegated to slow shutter speeds and high ISOs but managed a couple of passable shots including this one.
It has been a couple months since I last visited this pair as they won’t really start hanging out at home until late winter. Nevertheless, I decided it was a good day for a walk and I went by today. No sign of them but I was glad to see the nest is still intact. Hopefully it remains so and they will again take up residence there.
