Regular visitors at Payson's Green Valley Park had grown accustomed to seeing this bald eagle perched in the trees, scanning the surface of the lakes.

The raptor has returned after a season of absence and can once again be seen hunting on the waters, swooping down from his perch and plucking trout from the lakes.

This eagle has been seen with a second eagle, possibly a mate. It is estimated that there are only 41 breeding pairs of bald eagles in Arizona.
