Title: Bald Eagle in Ajax
Post by: Dinusaur on November 20, 2015, 06:13:29 PM

Not sure if the readers in this forum are aware of the presence of a juvenile Bald Eagle at Rotary Park, Ajax. Since the beginning of October she has been visiting the beach area a few times a day in search of dead fish and putting up great show for her admirers. Observing and photographing this magnificent wild bird from close quarter is an opportunity that is not easy to come by, particularly if you are lucky you may even watch her taking a bath in the lake. Here's a sample of the photos that I took. I also made a video where some of her juvenile antics are captured. Here's the video link:
