Bald Eagles have been out in large numbers by the river this week. I spotted at least eight adult and juvenile eagles dancing about in the sky. Watching them, I was reminded that I need a bigger lens!

I understand the acrobatics are part of their courtship, but there was also some posturing happening on the ground.

At times they seemed to be in flight for the pure joy.

I captured this Bald Eagle as it flew almost straight at me. The width of the wingspan is impressive.

She landed in the tree just above me but for a moment before taking off again.

Catching a fish, he flew off to enjoy his dinner in solitude.

This very soggy-looking eagle seemed alright with the audience.
I didn’t see any nests in the immediate vicinity, so maybe they’re just socializig in this happy little spot.
Great photos!
