See the new bald eagle photos.

There were several perches that the bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) would use each morning. The broad wooden perches could typically accomodate several eagles each. In this image the eagle on the left, which has been on the perch for a while, throws its head back and vocalizes at the sudden appearance of the eagle on the right which has just landed and is finding its balance with wings outstretched.
