Gary, very scenic photo. I bet as the light changes, the scenery changes dramatically.

Ava, thanks for sharing your photos, also.

We are nearing what should normally be the peak time for the migrating Bald Eagles. A week ago, one observer counted in excess of 200. They were everywhere. However, this past weekend, the numbers had dwindled dramatically. Why ? I don't know. We had several days of bad weather which may have contributed somewhat to the number change. I took about 10% of the photos I took the previous weekend. There were more photographers than eagles. Nonetheless, I will be back this weekend, weather permitting.

Juvenile Bald Eagles are not nearly as photogenic as the adults but you take what you can get. Here are a few photos of a juvenile Bald Eagle circling low over the water as he searches for food.
