Eagle duet

April 21, 2021 by Mike Powell

Perhaps these Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) were singing or maybe they were trying to scare off incoming osprey, but most importantly they were doing it together as a couple on a shared perch when I spotted them on Monday at Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge at a moment when the skies were completely overcast.

  Thanks, Tricia. It was a lot of fun watching the interactions of the couple. They really seemed to enjoy being really close together. 🙂

Great shot – singing in 2-part harmony? 😉
