eagle

This was taken from a boat on a perfectly calm and bright day. It is for me the defining moment just before the claws close around the fish in the water. These birds are just so magnificent I will never get tired of photographing them. The good thing is they are right on my door step.

iso 200 f2.8 1/4000 d300 sigma 120-300mm. A perfect still day out on the sea with good sunlight and it all came together perfectly. I just wish I had zoomed out a bit more to get more of the reflection in the picture but you cannot have it all can you. This is one of the local white tailed...

Bird that visits our back yard in Yucaipa, California, USA. Approximately 14 inches tall, makes a repeated screech sort of high pitched call at times for a few minutes. Will land on the grass in the yard and hop around a bit, appearing to eat something like snails or worms, when it is raining...

First Bald Eagle I've seen in Texas (and a mile from my house no less.) I actually had a camera to capture with, though the cold was affecting the auto-focus so I only salvaged a couple good photos. I'm excited as I've only seen a handful of Eagles in Oklahoma and Texas, and they never let me...

Landed here with his lunch. Either a carp, or someones Koi pond is missing a resident.

Eagle at Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge

This is a juvenile seen high up on a dead tree in the forest of Malaysia.

Going through some older pictures I found this one of an eagle I saw at Agam Agmon in Israel. I don't find eagles very easy to identify, especially if you add immature vs mature. If I look at the tail feathers with the black edges, best I can come up with is immature sea eagle. I know there are...

Bateleur (Terathopius ecaudatus) Kruger National Park, South Africa

Saw this one while on safari at Arathusa Safari Lodge near Kruger.

Mature Majestic American Bald Eagle

I witnessed the whole battle from the beginning. The Osprey worked hard to catch a fish, then the Bald Eagle appeared out of nowhere very quicky, chased the Osprey and forced it to give up the fish. This photo was the last of the sequence, at the moment the fish is free falling, and the Eagle is...
