This Bald Eagle was keeping an eye on the ducks swimming in the river. His attention shifted to several fishermen who walked under his tree during the course of the afternoon, on...

"IN THE SHADOW OF AN EAGLE" (Part 1) Bald Eagle (Adult Female) - 7 Photos Am going to recount this story in reverse order of eagle arrivals.
