Nicely detailed shot Val. Stunning bird. Was the Eagle able to grab a few fish while you observed it?
Thanks so much Emil. It was still the entire time I was photographing it. The only thing that moved was its head. There was very little open water and even the ducks were not coming up with any fish. I was hoping to see it fly, but it did not.
I really like the shot of the Bald Eagle. So sharp and colorful.
Majestic!
