This is one of eight Bald Eagles perched around a small lake in Portage Valley, Alaska yesterday. They seemed to be checking the dinner menu for available species of duck.

This morning I watched a Bald Eagle fly over East Chester Lagoon and flush all of the ducks and geese. Then it returned and tried to catch a Canada Goose in flight. The eagle was really quite clumsy and was never able to quite touch the goose. Then the gulls attached the eagle and it fled circling back over the lagoon again. Unfortuantely, there was a large clump of alders between me and the action, so I didn't get any pictures.
