That little eagle looks familiar

Very nice Joe, I have not been able to go through all my images yet.

It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday.

Nice shooting in the tangle and filtered light Joe. The juvi dwarfs that nest. If I remember correctly their wings are bigger now than they will be as adults? Looks like you had a close encounter, bet that was exciting!

Thanks everyone for the great comments.
Lil, I do feel very fortunate to be able to see these beautiful birds this close.
Karl, I have been following this nest all season and it's great that they both successfully fledged. One on Friday and the other on the 4th of July.
