Half of a nesting pair found in NW Oklahoma January 16th, before the latest round of snow and ice. I only had a little time to photograph that day so I left my 500mm lens with my sister so she could return and take more photos.
Not a very interesting pose and the light was too far to the left, but a handsome bird nonetheless.

I don't yet have a shot of a perched adult Bald Eagle worth posting. The whites were handled well. Perhaps a smidge could be taken off the bottom to move the bird a bit more off-center. The branches aren't a deal-breaker for me either.

You always have a way of capturing a great "look" in your avian subjects!

Excellent find. I wonder if a little more contrast and saturation would help this image. I think the composition is quite nice.
