Eagle Launch

Gallery: AvianPosted January 10, 201469 views4 comments

Another bald eagle from my Wisconsin trip. This is obviously an adult. This trip, there seemed to be more juveniles than adults. I thought this was a particularly attractive adult. The head and beak really stood out in the sunshine. I also liked the snow on the branch. This was taken a moment before he (she) launched off the limb and flew away.

Comments and critiques welcome.

I really like the intense/curious pose you captured and the ice on the limbs. Sharon

A bird sitting in a natural site where it should be . Great. Good handling of the blacks and whites too.
Great stuff.
