Description
A juvenile or immature bald eagle in flight and soaring above the Mississippi River. I was lucky to spot this beautiful creature while on a photo adventure on Rock Island, Illinois which is located on the Mississippi as it flows between Illinois and Iowa.
This juvenile has mastered the art of fishing and is preparing to find his dinner. Once an eagle spots a fish swimming or floating near the water surface, it approaches its prey in a shallow glide and then snatches the fish out of the water with a quick swipe of its talons. Eagles can open and close their talons at will; although, a hungry eagle can be dragged into the water when refusing to release a heavy fish.
