Bald eagle ♀︎ Mature female bald eagles are about 30 percent larger than males. I'd say this raptor qualifies as a large bald eagle. So female. Judging from her feather colors and lack of a full white head, she is not quite fully mature. So, four years old?

She's watching my every move like <s>a hawk</s>, er, an eagle.

She watched the sunrise with me As I returned from photographing the sunrise on Reelfoot Lake, I noticed a red-shouldered hawk had been quietly watching me–probably the whole time since I hadn't seen movement in the twilight air. I could not see her perched there in the dark but I certainly saw her in the morning light.

Reelfoot's Long Point Tower below Orion With the residue light from sunset, the flocks of ducks and geese around me in the dark had not quieted down yet. For such a lonely place, it was loud.

Taken with a slow lens completely opened up at f/4, this image is from an eight-second-long exposure. I have a much faster 20mm lens but I wanted to try out this one for astrophotography. No denoising.

Mating call of a hawk I think there was a potential mate in the area that this screeching red-shouldered hawk was keenly interested in.

Reelfoot reflection at dawn A submerged Bald Cypress tree and its surface reflection are revealed at sunrise on Reelfoot Lake. This is the start of the first clear day in days.

Everyone wants to be a hillbilly nowadays Cool hat. Hey, I have socks like that too.

This is a shop sign in a fairly flat Mississippi River community on a sparsely populated part of the northwestern border of Tennessee. I will tell you what it is not. It is NOT a sign in hillbilly country, which is on the opposite side of the state, Eastern Tennessee's Appalachia region. What is it? It is a sign that there are people in the Mississippi River region that think hillbillies are cool.

Yes, you are THE Raptor of Old Man River Got it! No need to give me that stern look. This is YOUR domain and I'm just passing through. I understand–er, MISTER Raptor of Old Man River. I know you spotted me a mile away. I'm not going to disturb that breakfast duck you spotted or the big catfish making a splash. I'm just a fly on a wall. My camera doesn't even click anymore. It's silent. I'm not going to disrupt you.

Note: I am near the southwest Kentucky / northwest Tennessee border visiting certain spots in and around Reelfoot National Wildlife Refuge. Frankly, I'm not certain what side of the border this spot is in.
