It was an unusual day for shooting bird pictures. I had just started to look at over a 100 pictures of Waxwings. Didn't even know what I had yet. When my tenant came to the door shouting: "There's an Eagle in the tree across the street." I got two shots standing on the front porch, before it flew. This telephoto shot, shows black tip on the tail, and near the eye. It is another young bird. In the last few weeks most of the Eagles I'm seeing in or near the city are young birds. I'm speculating, they are getting desperate for food. Its been a long very sever winter, almost no open freshwater. They are looking for an easy meal. Something to scavenge or a small pet.
