The Sentinel

A meaning of the word, sentinel, is 'To watch over as a guard'. That surely is fitting for this photo. The bald eagle parent is perched at the top of the tree above its nest, where it can stand guard over the nest and the fledglings in it. I liked its pose and the way the tree top is bent under its weight.
