DavidTriplett Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 This is the additional weekly image thread for the Nature Forum. While images posted to this thread should still be nature in theme, it may contain a small amount of human-made objects and therefore less restricted than the Monday in Nature threads. Please see this discussion for more details: Alternative weekly thread in Nature forum Each participant please post no more than just one image per weekly thread. Now I know the last thing a French fry sees before being gobbled-up by a rapacious gull. Happy 4th of July everybody! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShunCheung Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I have posted about this bald eagle family quite a few times. Their nest is in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay area, by an elementary school. This year, the eaglets hatched around April 1. Therefore, this juvenile eagle is barely three months old (I captured this image earlier today, July 2, 2020), but as far as size goes, this eaglet is as big as the parents and fledged a couple of weeks ago. However, it will still take another four years to mature into an adult. Statistically, only 15% of the eaglets survive all four years. Here the eaglet was standing on a solar panel on the school campus. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
