This is a sub-adult eagle that could be anywhere from one to three or four years old. You can tell it is concentrating really hard on the fish. It did catch one, although I wasn't able to get any photos of it because it was so dark and rainy on this morning. The reason I know it caught one, is because another young eagle chased it all over the marsh trying to steal the fish.
The Patuxent River received the an F in the annual University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, the worse grade of any river in the Chesapeake Bay, other than the Elizabeth River down near Portsmouth, Virginia, which runs through old Navy ship building facilities. The worst water quality in the entire Bay! How can that be? I know of absolutely no major industry anywhere along the river. How can it have such terrible water quality? Just think what an Eden it would be if the water was healthy.
