Fort Pickens is near Pensacola Beach, Florida and is one of the best places on the Gulf Coast to view wildlife. On this trip to the fort I spotted a pair of bald eagles and an osprey with a fresh catch. It is awesome that bald eagles are now becoming a common sight on the Gulf Coast.

The one on the right is probably around 4 years old as it's white feathers are in transition.

One is a mature adult, and the other one is probably around four years old. A bald eagle will get the classic white feathers and be considered fully mature at around 5 years old. I don't know enough if these are siblings or perhaps they are pair bonding so if anyone knows please comment below.

Next we have an osprey with a fresh catch.
