Observation details
For one brief moment, when I was below the height of the reservoir's eastern dam, I saw six eagles rise into view, coming up from close to the water. They were close together, all wheeling about. I took a (poor) photo that captured five of them (one of the five is largely obscured). At start of my obs, the local resident pair of adults, one with prey, landed on a power tower. The continuing juvenile tried to land with them but gave up. Was this a case of a hungry offspring hoping its parents would still feed it? After that, the continuing immature flew into view, and then flew about the other three. Then all flew off. I didn't see the adults carrying their prey, nor was I able to find prey remnants below the tower. That's too bad, as I practically froze my metal-frame eyeglasses to my face off while looking for it! :-b
