This morning was cloudy and windy, but I went to the refuge anyway, and among the many birds and ducks I saw a young Bald Eagle who put on an impressive flying exhibition.
Young Bald Eagle on Osprey nest. The Ospreys had migrated South a month or so ago.
People in several cars were trying to take its picture, so the Bald Eagle took off.

It looked as if it was preparing to dive.

But it just banked and flew away.

Here’s another shot of it against a small portion of the sky that was blue.

Thank you Tiny! That young one appeared to be very powerful. I pity the smaller birds that may fall prey to it.

Hien, you’re welcome. Trying to photograph flying birds is a challenge. Most of mine are a throw away.

Great images as usual. I wanted to let you know that I seem to be unable to “like” photos. I can see them and, hopefully, can leave a comment.

Great shots, Hien. I thought all bald eagles have white head! 😉 Whenever we were traveling on the road, I always looked for bald eagles. Of course I was only looking for white heads. Ha.
Have a wonderful evening.

Helen, thanks for commenting. Bald Eagles have fully white heads only when they have reached sexual maturity. During the first four years they look like this young eagle above, with their heads slowly turning white.
