Bald Eagle Portrait
Friends, this a mature Bald Eagle with her chick of this year are sitting on the nest. I have been following the chick progress since about early May, now the chick is getting ready to fly.

Do not disturb-Bald eagle dinner

This one gave me the “eye” and i took his picture from across the road. til Tomorrow MJ
