Tag Archives: male is smaller

Get a room- that's what Eric Zetterholm said after witnessing the Bald Eagles mating. This is the mated pair at the Gualala River. In the first photo, the smaller Bald Eagle, the male, looks like he's showing off to the larger female just beneath him. "Look ma, no hands!"

Then the male appears to be talking to the female.

He must have said something sweet, because mating then took place.

It was foggy the day Eric got these photos. I thank him for allowing me to share them with you here.

We've had a nice soaking of rain today, with more on the way - hooray!
