Backyard Birder: Bald is Beautiful!

I had a big surprise in December when a Bald Eagle was in a tree in my yard in Tallahassee.  It and some Turkey Vultures were apparently interested in a dead squirrel.  I got a few photos as the Bald Eagle maneuvered in my neighborhood. 

A year ago I watched three juvenile Bald Eagles fight over a fish in the skies above my neighborhood.

A favorite spot of mine to view Bald Eagles is at St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge from around late August through  May.
