Is it possible to post too many photos of Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)? I don’t think so. Here’s a shot of one I saw yesterday flying in the distance at Huntley Meadows Park. It was a nice bonus that we had sunshine and blue skies after a series of dreary, overcast days, even though it was still pretty cold outside.
I see Bald Eagles, including juvenile ones, often enough at the park that I frequently wonder if there is a nest hidden somewhere the park. I have wandered through some pretty remote areas of the park, but so far have been unsuccessful in locating a nesting site.

I don’t think so either, Mike. You could rename this “An Eagle a Day” and I’d still show up 🙂
Thanks, Dan. I am so in awe of Bald Eagles that I will always try to get a shot when I see one, no matter how far away it is. As someone who served 20 years in the Army, the symbolism of the Bald Eagle is deeply imprinted in me. I am lucky to live in an area that has a pretty good number of them–if I travel closer to the Potomac River, I may be able to get some closer shots.
We have a few families around here, Mike but Ive only seen them a few times.
I can never get enough of bald eagles, and these two portraits are a real treat. Thanks Mike.
