A Young Bald Eagle Plays With A Sprinkler At Flathead Lake, Montana

Fierce predators like to let loose, too and not in a manner all that different from you and I. Like this juvenile bald eagle, for instance, who seems to have taken a fancy to playing in the sprinklers. Photographer Joan Robins captured the magnificent bird as it toyed with a pop-up sprinkler head on the shore of Montana's Flathead Lake earlier this summer. Robins added in a YouTube comment that the eagle played for around 20 minutes. By that time, writes Robins, he was soaking wet. But by the looks of it, this bird had a great time. See some of Robins' photos, below, or watch the video, at the end of the this article:
