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

The young are always curious, and that's not just restricted to humans. While its parents were out fishing, this three-month-old bald eagle decided to explore its surroundings. Bird watcher Joan Robbins captured the moment the infant raptor discovered a garden spinkler and didn't quite know what to make of it.

Immature Bald Eagles spend the first four years of their lives in nomadic exploration of vast territories and can fly hundreds of miles per day. Some young birds from Florida have wandered north as far as Michigan, and birds from California have reached Alaska.
