The other day I went back to take more pictures of Jack, hoping to get a picture of the parents. I also met up with Mel so she could see Jack. I saw a bird flying out of a tree so I started snapping shots. When I loaded the photos in my computer and cropped the photo to see a larger view, this is what I found. Originally I thought I was taking a picture of a raven. He was kind of far away but, not as far as Jack.

Can anyone ID this bird for me? I'm hoping someone says it's another Juvenile eagle!

It looks like Jack. Did you see him in his nest when this one was flying around? There probably are other juvi's in the area, but Jacks folks aren't going to let them hang around Grout Bay area. We've seen them presumably chasing other eagles away. Also...juvi goldens would look like this as well. They are nearly impossible to distinguish from immature baldies

Interesting! I know there is a red tail hawk in the same area, but this is clearly not one. His parents must not have been around if another eagle was close! The silhouette could be a raven...it's hard to tell without perspective to judge its size. [Click Here]

It woke me up. We rarely feel them in our house but this one was a pretty good shake. Must've been fairly shallow. Anyone else feel it?
