Yup, I blinked first.
Love their oh-so-serious looks and expressions. I had taken several shots of this bald eagle and I think he was weary of my clicks and attention.
He soon left, pic shown in comments.
Thanks for your looks though!

Milpitas Bald Eagle family has 2 eaglets this year. Unfortunately the younger one passed away last week. Eagle parents are checking the nest more frequently now to make sure the other eaglet is doing okay.
此地的白頭禿鷹家庭今年增加了兩位小禿鷹，很不幸年輕的那隻於上週夭折。因此雙親最近常常回家查看，希望年長的那隻一切安好。

This Bald Eagle was high up into a tree as we were watching both eagle. The other Bald Eagle had a fish in its talons and took off a few seconds before this one did. I rattled off about 8 shots at this one as he flew towards us and went well over our heads. This is the only one in the 8 that came out good, I was really surprised when I cropped it in a bit that it still looked pretty good.

Many thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.
The Indian eagle-owl, also called the rock eagle-owl or Bengal eagle-owl (Bubo bengalensis), is a species of large horned owl restricted to the Indian Subcontinent. They were earlier treated as a subspecies of the Eurasian eagle-owl. They are found in hilly and rocky scrub forests, and are usually seen in pairs. They have a deep resonant booming call that may be heard at dawn and dusk. They are typically large owls, and have "tufts" on their heads. They are splashed with brown and grey, and have a white throat patch with black small stripes.
This large owl with the distinctive face, large forward-facing eyes, horns and deep resonant call is associated with a number of superstitions. Like many other large owls, these are considered birds of ill omen. Their deep haunting calls if delivered from atop a house are considered to forebode the death of an occupant. A number of rituals involving the capture and killing of these birds have been recorded. Salim Ali notes a wide range of superstitions related to them but notes two as being particularly widespread. One is that if the bird is starved for a few days and beaten, it would speak like a human, predicting the future of the tormentor or bringing them wealth while the other involves the killing of the bird to find a lucky bone that moved against the current like a snake when dropped into a stream.Belief in these superstitions has led to the persecution of the species in many areas by tribal hunters. The capture of these birds is illegal under Indian law but an underground market continues to drive poaching.

The 3 photos in this series were taken at 3 different times. It seems the eagle has taken to these firs, and likes to perch at the very top. In the second shot, the eagle has bent its left wing forward to preen it better, thereby exposing more of its white tail feathers than we normally get to see!
An adult Bald Eagle on its way back to its nest with a very big stick. It had one chick in the nest and it had to maneuver the stick around it to get it to fit.
Bald Eagles, over the Wabash River, Logansport, IN. The eagle on the lower branch seems to be hoping the other eagle will share the fish.
Series of 4 photos showing a juvenile bald eagle coming in for scraps from mom. The 2nd shot is hilarious as the juvenile just crashes into mom.
Perched near her nest on a tall tree in the early morning light, this Bald Eagle could survey the small lake at Magee Marsh, Ohio.
Bald eagle heads across the Susquehanna River with its prize plucked from the river. If you look close you can make a bunch of other eagles that were on the far river bank sitting on the rocks.
This is a capture that is more about the environment there ... as the eagle was quite the distance away at this time, but is was rapidly heading my way. Could have used a 20,000mm lens at this time ;)
