Female Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) at nest - Nome, AK
Seeing this Golden Eagle nest so close was the most special experience of my whole birding life. This nest had 2 Eaglets and I was able to see both of them and the gorgeous female. This female kept her eye on me the whole time. The bird was photographed and I left quickly once the mother returned as to not disturb her. I was so honoured to be in her regal presence. I have seen several Golden Eagles before but to be this close to a nest was something I'd never experienced before and a true privilege.
