Photo of Golden Eagle with nestling



As I noted in an earlier post, I found that the nesting Golden Eagle had a fledgling. This photo shows the parent (likely the mother as research shows that the female eagles do almost all feeding of nestlings) bent forward as the bird is tearing apart whatever prey it has to feed it's nestling. The whitish figure next to the adult eagle(the adult's head is not visible but is directly adjacent to the nestling)is the nestling. I took the photo about 750 feet away with my 12X digital camera. I enlarged it as far as possible.
