Many of my ‘fans’ will recall the Family Quarrel Behavioral Series that I posted in early 2015. In that series, Mom & Dad eagle had a little discipline session with Junior. After the encounter, the Dad Bald Eagle flew about 400 yards to a tree that is right on the refuge’s gravel road. Needless to say, I drove down to the tree after photographing the action and found Dad–not in the best place for a picture–but visible nonetheless. The bird was about 20 feet away and I cropped this to cut out distracting branches. So this is an up close portrait of the male bird in the series contemplating the recent exchange with Junior.

I know that look (and I bet my children do too)!
Tremendous series, Dennis.
🙂 Thanks, Carolyn, for the nice comment!
