Adult Eagle feeding eaglet!

April 17, 2013 in Bald Eagle

The adult Bald Eagle was observed feeding the eaglet.  In this image the eagle is just forward of the adult and is facing the adult.  it is possible to see the eaglet through the sticks and is showing fuzzy head, neck, and bill.  Young eaglets grow rapidly and may consume as much as two pounds of fish per day!
