Thanks Christy. I was thrilled to get these shots in good light. I added it to the mission where it belongs.

Love this one too, Tom! They're so great to see when they're doing something different! (he belongs in the Raptor mission, too!) ;-)

Thanks Tom, I will definitely share when I get them. Nice other series of the juvenile eagle!

Thanks Emily and Arya. This eagle must have been thirsty and took about a half dozen gulps of water. Arya good luck next week and I hope we get to see some of your pictures.
Arya
Very cool series! Going up to the river to spot some in Washington next week

Many think that raptors soley get their moisture from their food but that is simply not true! I've seen hawk and other raptors "lap" up water in rivers, ponds and puddles! Great series!
