Bald eagle (C)

Gallery: AvianPosted March 11, 2013186 views4 comments

This is a Bald eagle (Captive) trained to fish on command. The owners organize falcony shows with several birds of prey (falcons, eagles owls ...) and also some shooting sessions for photographers. These sessions are used as part of the training path for the main shows, but also to give some opportunities to photographers that do no have the opportunity to watch these wonderful birds in their own habitats.

An incredible action shot. Other than a small amount of noise in the BG this image is a killer (literally). Thanks for sharing it.

Great action, Luca. I like the wing position. A bit hot on top of the head to my eye. I didn't know anyone used these for falconry.
