Juvenile Bald Eagle, Alaska, USA

By Gary Minish

When the Lowe River levels dropped in the late Fall, some of the shallower branches became isolated ponds which were full of landlocked spawning salmon. The Bald Eagles and other birds were competing for the easily obtainable salmon. This juvenile Bald Eagle had one all to itself and had obviously been feeding for a while. I zoomed in from the other side of the pond for this shot.
