I thought the bird had left until it flew into my viewfinder as I scouted for ducks. |
I'm not sure what it was after - ducks or muskrat possibly - as it landed in the marsh. |
When it took flight it flew directly toward me. |
This is probably a 1st year immature Bald Eagle - not showing any white on the head or tail yet lacking the lighter belly of a 2nd year bird. |
I think it was startled by the sound of my camera shutter and turned to fly in the opposite direction. |
A little later a second bird flew in - this one a second year bird with a mostly white underside. April 5, East Jordan |
