Continuing on the series of better shots from this summer in the USA. While I was working on trying to get a really good shot to convey just how many Canada Geese where crowded in together, this young Bald Eagle made a grab at the shore for what he/she thought was a turtle. Turned out it was...

Wild female golden eagle in Western Scotland during the big freeze of Feb 2010: Well, I didn't lose it finding my way up the frozen hill in the pitch black soon after 5 am in early February, with just a head torch, no path, and no moon, on the way up to see this beautiful raptor close up (only...

Last year I was told there were eagles nesting in Lambertville, NJ on the power lines. Well, I was determined to find them. After trekking through the woods and fields for about 2 miles on a hot day, I finally found them. Believe me after seeing them, along with immatures...it was worth it!

This was the first time I visited the Conowingo Dam in Maryland and I wasn't disappointed. There were many Bald Eagles and immatures flying around the dam looking for fish. Many photographers were there with their HUGE lenses and then me with my little old Canon Ti3. I was happy to capture this...

Post-mating afterglow! She wants to talk about carpets and curtains, he wants a quick smoke and off to sleep!

Immature American Bald Eagle. Attaining adult plumage in about 5 years, this bird is probably 4-5 years old. This was one of three juveniles being watched over by an adult while feeding on a gull.

Adult. Global conservation states: Near threatened. Classified as rare resident breeder of Singapore but this species is currently doing very well with the illegal release of non-native fish species in the reservoirs, lakes and ponds that have increased its food source. Settings: 640mm ISO1250...

There were about 7 or 8 eagles soaring, diving, and enjoying a great Cape Breton afternoon. They perform with lots of dives and landing on the ice close to were we are shooting!

Another shot from Cape Breton afternoon with the eagles.

With this up and down weather in Cape Breton, was glad that yesterday, although cold, was a great day for shooting eagles. Today not so much....Raining and very windy....good editing day!

Adult Bald Eagle just after take off.

I got a new camera for Christmas (Nikon D7100) and the Bald Eagle was eager to help me try it out.
