Not quite in the "wild"; National Eagle Center, Wabasha, MN
This one is wild. Wabasha, MN. The Bald Eagles winter over here because the river narrows and moves a bit faster here, so it doesn't freeze over. This gives the eagles access to fish. At times, you can see 40 to 50 eagles in the trees on the shoreline.
This particular eagle decided to fly over to where I was shooting, and then she circled overhead several times before moving on. Very majestic birds, although in reality, they tend to be scavengers.
