We were driving between a couple of our favotite winter hiking sites when we spotted this large bird flying overhead. It took me a few minutes to identify it as a juvenile Bald Eagle. They don’t get the white head until they are about 4 years old. The local couple that nest near our home have had 5 young eaglets over the last three years. I am not sure this is one of those, but it very exciting to see her flying overhead.
The parent eagles are nesting now (as you can make out in the second photo). Yes, that is a full size eagle on that nest.
The final photo is one of the parents in a tree near the nest. The mate is in the nest.
