On Christmas Day...

   On Christmas Day, an eagle flew over the swamp.


 Another eagle perched on the edge of the swamp.  Note how the white head and white tail blend in with the background making it appear as if it is a smaller hawk, such as a red-tailed hawk, at first glance.  Eagles are returning to their nesting territories now through late winter. 
Often eagle courtship both in the air and on the ground is mis-identified as fighting.
