Very Cool Eagle at State Line

842A1688
I was the counter at State Line Hawk Watch on this beautiful October afternoon.

842A1692I was fortunate to see a young Bald Eagle perch in the dead tree where the various vultures like to hang out.

It was clearly the bird of the day for me, as opposed to the more than 200 Turkey Vultures that passed through.

The Beast and her mate hung out on the other perch for quite a while. The male dined on a Black-capped Chickadee.
