New Kid in Town

For the album - Of Life and Death on the Kettle River: What the initial eagle I witnessed (and attempted to photograph) knew, was a larger bald eagle was perched nearby watching all the action. Something spooked the does and after they darted off, flagging their whitetails in a warning of danger, the bigger eagle landed and made challenge for the territory. Of course, I fumbled the camera and didn't get a shot off during the entire wing flapping and squawking. Here the new victor is about to start the process over again.
