Eagles 'R Us

ORMOND BEACH, FL - - Our usual Wednesday morning breakfast walk takes us through Central Park on our return trip. Lately, we've had good luck spotting hawks and, last Sunday, a bald eagle. Today was no exception. Two red shouldered hawks were resting in different locations. So we hurried home, got the cameras and returned. While one hawk posed for Lydia, I spotted an eagle in the same dead tree as Sunday. But this one (above) looked different. Sure enough, it was an immature (young, before their head and tail feathers turn completely white) bald eagle was on alert.

Sunday's mature eagle (below) was majestic even under gray skies. Check the link to Lydia's blog for more on our eagle / hawk sightings.
