It must have been a captive bird to get this close. You certainly caught the fierceness and majesty of these wonderful raptors.
Artist Reply: Actually it was a wild bird. I was along when the state was banding three young eagles close by. There were three chicks in the nest, all going over 9 pounds. They bring them to the gound to weigh, check health, band them, etc. Then they go back into the nest. 90 ft up. I stopped by with a scope a couple weeks later and they had not fledged yet. They should be flying now.
