Bald Eagle juvenile in flight overhead
January 9, 2014 in Bald Eagle
After a visit to the Merrimack River shore and a scanning for eagles — headed back to car to continue on. Unexpectedly overhead 2 eagles glide by very close, almost too close. One of them a first winter juvenile and the other a likley Basic IV pre-adult plumage. Midday day overhead sun, but here c’est la vie! In the birding world, always expect the unexpected and for photographer types, always have camera in ready mode!
