It’s been a while since our last bald eagle update. The good news is that our resident eagle stalker/photog extraordinaire, Chris Johnson, has been keeping tabs on Richmond’s population of eagles — adult, juvenile and still in the nest. Check out this series of pics, all shot in the past week:

A mother or father eagle keeps watch over the eaglet in the nest on Cooper’s Island. It won’t be long before this baby tests its wings. Credit: Chris Johnson
