Adult Bald Eagle Incubating Eggs

[Tailgunner]

An adult Bald Eagle in what I believe to be week 5 of incubating eggs. Its hard to tell if its a female or male, the two will trade off occasionally and their nearly identical birds.

Here the Eagle is either waiting on some food or a shift change...or both.

Nikon D500 w/Nikon 200-500mm. Unedited and shot in jpg ( I know, I know).

Amazing find!

I would crop a bit and lift shadows to the extent that jpg allows for it.

Nice.
