These photos are from yesterday Feb 16, there was lots of action from a juvenile perched with an adult, two adults perched, other adults, sub-adults, flying action, and competition for one large fish.
It was a great observation and photo day. I also met a few new people. One man was a photographer for the St Louis Rams. We saw an eagle perched on a log in the river near some woods and took off into this tree line to get closer to the eagle. Just as we approached, after walking through 4 in. deep snow the eagle flies off.Titter

I will tell the competition for the fish story with the pictures. It involves one adult with a very large fish and what happens on the ice.

This first set of photos is a juvenile and adult perched together. The juvenile flies off and the adult stays.

The nest three photos are of an adult that finished off a fish as I came upon it and then started to clean its bill.
