Haliaeetus leucocephalus

Yellowstone Wildlife Area

I had a few hours to explore my local area. I randomly picked traveling to the Yellowstone Wildlife Area. Along the way I meandered along ridge lines of the Driftless Area. I saw a number of interesting locations but the best was when suddenly a juvenile Bald Eagle appeared in my windshield view. It was about 15' in front of me, and just above the top of the Jeep. I had been driving along the ridge slowly so we ended up keeping pace with each other for a while. Every so often it would glance back at me and I swear we made eye contact.

It wasn't the only eagle I spotted either. In all I must have seen at least five in all. The last was this beauty settling onto an oak.
