March 1st Eagle photo

[Heather Green]

I was visiting down in Broward this past weekend and decided to check out the eagles I'd heard so much about on my way home.  I was there sometime before 10am and was able to watch one of the adults fly in with a fish and feed the babies.  At first no one was sure what the adult had brought but later when I was home and able to go through my photos I realized I did have a blurry shot of the adult as it flew in with the fish.  I was there sometime before 10am.  

I think it's awesome that everyone is keeping such good track of these guys.  I see bald eagles frequently where I live in Hendry County, including in the trees in our own pasture, but this was the first time seeing a nest or babies.  



After the feeding the adult flew into the dead malalueca trees:


And here's a shot of a few of the watchers that day:

Wow, Heather!  Those images are amazing.

And, thanks for identifying what the meal was that we saw.
