Nature Juvenile Eagle Launching

Juvenile Eagle Launching · **5 Likes**

This was the launch in response to the crow that was harassing the eagle.

Those are great shots of the Eagle launching from the pine tree and in flight. It's difficult to pick favorites, but here goes, shots 1,2,3,5,7,&10. I think that I got it narrowed down to half of them, but I wouldn't turn down any of them.
So the Eagle grew tired of the crow harassing it.😊

Nice captures. Those sure are some ratty looking tail feathers on that bird. Perhaps from prior harassment?

Great shots and no other way to say it!
I winder if the ratty looking tail feathers are possibly due to not being fully fledged yet--and just sitting on them in a messy and rough twig nest, rather than perching on a clear limb.
Just my guess.

Thank you. I did some research and it looks like the ratty tail feathers is normally due to they like to steal food from other animals and over the winter they start getting that way.

I viewed these and then processed - must be K-3 iii. Then reviewed the header, and indeed - K-3 iii. Very nice!
