| Eagle #1 peacefully watching surroundings. |
After a non-restful night, I awoke early and decided I would go home with a stop by Mattamuskeet. I took a scenic back route which I must go back down sometime during full daylight. The peaceful scenic drive lifted my spirits and I will definitely revisit that route in the spring.

This post will primarily be on the young eagles. I still have hundreds of photos to sort through and will post those on a separate post.
Being a weekday morning, there were very few visitors on the refuge when I arrived. I headed back to the area where there is a photo blind by the water. I had not pulled far down the road when I saw one of the young eagles fly in. I cut the car off and sat and watched. Was I in for a show. A game of "King of the Tree" followed. The first one flew in and landed in a tree just checking out the surroundings.
This play attack behavior went on for about 10 minutes. Both eventually settled down in the same tree and sat for some time.
