This nest is located in Northern Pennsylvania along the banks of the West Branch Susquehanna River, about20 miles South of the NY border. Per the locals it has been used by this pair (only one showing) for the last five years or so.
Bald eagle fishing there along the Susquehanna River. Amazing to see these eagles all in action there along the river.
... some lucky fish was about to get its back scratched ... amazing to watch these raptors in action along the Susquehanna River in Maryland.
The steppe eagle is a bird of prey. Like all eagles, it belongs to the family Accipitridae. It was once considered to be closely related to the non-migratory tawny eagle and the two forms have previously been treated as conspecific
... for this eagle that was nearly to the trees ... you cannot see its fish in this pose as it was passing by as it was tucked safely there under its talons.
There is a fuzzy light spot to the lower right of the eagle's wing - that is one of the chicks. It does have a beak showing.
In a hike this morning down by the river I almost didn't notice this youngster hanging out. He/She was not too bothered by me. It took me awhile for me to get my camera out of my pack, I was afraid he would fly away, but I think he was rather curious in what I was up to. I played with this image to lighten up the background and make it monochrome. I think it intensifies his eye even more. They are such cool birds and I always feel so fortunate when I get this close to one.
