Bald Eagle (NH) in Flight

Bald Eagle in flight over lake Umbagog,NH - we spend many days there watching amazing wildlife. This one happened to fly out from a tree in front of us and I happened to have the camera ready, make for a nice combo.

We love bald eagles and often think of going to Homer for those incredible photos, but then we realise the time and effort and how much more difficult it has been to find local eagles to photograph. We keep trying for those closer, more intimate, more specular shots but also come home empty handed many times. The eagles are around, but somethimes don't want to be photographed, it's a challenge we love to try and conquer.
