Evening Bald Eagle

Driving through the Turner Valley, the road divides the farm fields from the start of the Foothills which reach up to the Kananaskis range of the Canadian Rockies south of Calgary in Alberta. In the evening, all manner of raptors circle above the grasslands and perch along the fenceposts stretching wire to divide up the prairie. This bald eagle watched me for 20 minutes before we parted ways. The warm, soft evening light worked well on the feathers and with the out of focus fields behind in this image.
