I checked on Mama Bald Eagle on Skinner Butte this morning. She was sitting on the nest, while the chick slept. The grayish lump on her left is the baby. It popped up a few times but neither cooperated by assuming a nice pose for me. Most of the time the mama was sitting with her back to me and looking out over the Willamette River. Lighting was also a problem, harsh contrasts between sunlit areas and shade. In this image, at least the lighting was manageable. I thought it shows the beauty of the bald eagle.
