Bald eagle

One of our small gaggle of local photographers sent a note yesterday that there was a nice bald eagle lingering in a city park. They hang in the area because of the open water that holds ducks and geese all winter. The eagles see people and know they are safe and, well, you now ... dinner.

Magnificent photos Clive, of a truly regal looking bird.
I have been tuning in to the live cam of the nesting eagles in Big Bear Valley, currently doing it hard with all the snow, and the possibility of the eggs not being viable.

Thanks Jacki. It was a nice opportunity.  
Do  you know how long the BBV eggs were unattended? I am not sure how long eggs can be exposed when it is cold. In bad weather, female Canada geese will sit for days to keep the eggs warm. The male is always nearby.
