A Study in Contrasts

In addition to working with the Land Trust on a variety of videos, John Gussman of DoubleClick Productions often generously shares his photos with us, like the one above that features a fledgling Bald Eagle and a fledgling hummingbird. John said that according to people who regularly monitor the nest location, both birds had left their nests on July 14, the day before he took the photo. The Bald Eagle is one of two young birds that he photographed earlier this year (see photos below).

In mid-May, John captured the two photos below in the Sequim area. With John’s permission, we shared the first photo on Facebook. It features an eaglet and its mom in the nest. The lower photo, which he took a few days later, shows the mom and two eaglets.
