Bald Eagle with the Ruffled feathers

[Eric Diller]

Nest is done....just waiting on the Eagles to do the Wild thing and Mama to lay her eggs!
This is the male chilling in an adjacent tree at the end of the day! The Female flew into the nest while i wasn't paying attention, but the lighting sucks on the nest in the evening.

Sounds like you've got yourself an Eagle project for the next while! Interesting pose, I guess it was in the middle of a feather "shake" or just fluffing out? I actually don't mind the busy habitat, it's just the longer vertical branch that I wish wasn't there. Angle is a bit steep, but I figure that is where they hang out...
