A remarkable picture

[Dave McClung]

This picture isn't remarkable because of the photography. It is remarkable because of the content. Linda and I saw two adult eagles teaching the young eagles to fly. If you look carefully, one of the adult eagles was actually upside down. I wish I had been closer.

Wow! Up-side-down ... quite a picture! Thanks.

Dave, can you explain in a little more detail what you saw that day. I would love to hear more about the flying lesson.

I like your story line better: teaching the young uns to fly!

Cynthia, the picture pretty much tells the story. Linda and I were returning home from a family outing. Our home is located near an eagle's nest. As we approached, Linda pointed up and said, "Look at those eagles. Fortunately, I had my camera with a telephoto lense in reach. I stopped my pickup truck and leaned out the window. While I was taking the pictures, I didn't fully realize what was happening.

The two young birds were unsteady in their flight. When they started to descend, the larger eagle would fly up right below them. I couldn't tell that the adult actually touched the younger bird. I would guess that it was just the air flow that gave the young birds a boost. As you can see from the picture, the second adult bird was out in front. I assume it was leading the young birds while the second one was keeping them in the air.

I just happended to catch a picture of the one adult while it was rolling over. It didn't stay upside down for more than in instant.

Thank you so much Dave...for the picture and the story.

Perhaps preaching upside down could have fruitful benefits.
