An American Bald Eagle delivers a fresh fish for dinner for his little eaglet in the nest.

Papa delivers a fresh fish (looks like a carp) to the nest for an eaglet dinner. Because of our vantage point, until an eaglet grows big enough for us to get a glimpse above the edge of the nest, we can't tell how many eaglets have hatched. . . .

Both Mama and Papa have been taking turns incubating the eggs, but Papa still seems to be a little reluctant to stay too long on the eggs. He is a new Papa as of last year, so he's still getting the hang of how things work. On this recent evening . . .

Was tracking this Shorty across the late evening sky as it was gracefully working its way above the prairie when it abruptly went vertical to dive toward something it saw or heard below. Will miss these wonderful flying machines . . .

The talons of eagles are impressive, no doubt. According to scientists at HawkQuest in Colorado, a bald eagle's gripping strength is ten times stronger than the average grip of an adult human hand . . .
