Young Eagle

Day 39
 I was disappointed this morning when I missed the amazing sunrise.  Then I thought I would go to Lake Winnipesaukee to catch a nice landscape. But, when I got there, my focus was not on the view, but instead on a beautiful bald eagle that was just sitting on the ice on the lake. I took a few photos, which were from quite a distance.  You could tell it was an eagle, but really a little out of focus.
I then decided to drive a little further along the shore. Suddenly I came across another eagle on the ice, this one being a little closer to the shore.  But, when I zoomed in, I noticed this was a young eagle. He has not yet developed his white head or tail.  Probably a year or two old. He just sat there looking around.  I think his mom must have been the first eagle I saw, because they really weren't that far apart.
I am so grateful that I took that ride this morning!  This is the 4th eagle I have seen this week!
