adult golden eagle feeding chick

With State and Federal permits I assist another researcher with a golden eagle study. We approach and enter as many nests as we can each spring. This one was located very high on a cliff face and we approached from the top so we could look over the edge and into the nest. The adult was breaking off small pieces of meat and giving them to the young eagle (~40 days old). Very cool day......
