Contemplating the family quarrel

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.
