Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) feeding an eaglet
This was taken from very far, through branches and cropped heavily as well. I believe there's two eaglets in the nest as far as my observations through the binoculars revealed. I got a bit amused while watching the parent trying, yes trying, to feed the pictured young one for it seemed the junior wasn't a fan of rabbit or squirrel or whatever furry animal was on the menu. He wasn't eagerly opening his mouth and kept on turning his head away from the nutritious offerings! Maybe he preferred fish, maybe he wasn't hungry. So, even bald eagle parents have to have patience when raising their children!
