Bald eagle keeping an eye on us. This eagle is almost mature. There is still a little brown in its head and tail. We've been watching this eagle for at least a couple of years now. Head and tail are getting whiter and whiter. It is such a special gift to share the river with these magnificent birds. They have only been back around these parts for the last ten years or so.
