Field Notes

Description:

Adult Bald Eagles have white heads and tails with dark brown bodies and wings.

Habitat:

I spotted this eagle at Bent of the River Audubon. I was standing next to a small stream taking a picture of a beetle when this bird soared over my head. I barely got a shot (with my macro lens!) before it was gone!
