One juvenile bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) feeds at the nest while its sibling is forced to wait in the shadow for its turn. The young eagles were about two and a half months old at the time this image was taken and both had been flying for a couple weeks. One of the parents would deliver food to the nest while the young eagles were away and they would race back to the nest to feed. The dominant eagle arrived first and prevented the other juvenile from feeding.
