Eagle hatchling

A bald eagle pair lives in our neighborhood. They are beautiful and we see them everyday. Here is a picture of one. The male, we think.


This winter, they built a large nest across the street from our house. It took months and was fascinating to watch. We watched hopefully as the pair stayed in the nest for weeks alternating 24/7. Recently, they have not been as close to the nest and we thought the eggs may have gone bad. But today, we saw a hatchling hopping around in the nest. If you look closely at the grainy picture below you can see the little one's head poking out of the top of the nest. Way cool.



Here, in the next two pictures, the little guy has his back to us.



And here he's being fed by his parents.
