Juvenile Bald Eagle, Protection Island National Wildlife Refuge, Washington

A juvenile bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) rests on driftwood on Protection Island National Wildlife Refuge in Jefferson County, Washington as a glaucous gull flies by. Protection Island, located at the mouth of Discovery Bay in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, is a 364-acre island mainly covered with grass and low brush. The island, which also has high sandy bluffs, serves as a nesting ground for 72 percent of the seabirds that nest in the Puget Sound area. Bald eagles prey on those seabirds and their young.
