Eagle in the Woods

[Debbie Stahre]

The eagles can often be seen late springtime in this heavily wooded area running above a split stream that empties into a creek where the herring run. A narrow, curving road runs uphill to to an opening where you can see the valley below and a couple of dead trees are convenient landing spots for the fledgling eagles. The sides of the road, typical of Maine, are sand traps so you have to shoot from the road and hope nobody comes around a corner...

Outstanding details of this bird's face. I see a lot of these in my area but not up this close.

Great eye detail.

Like that eagle pose. Nicely detailed.

Wow Debbie! Love that fierce piercing stare! It sounds like not the most ideal situation for photographing.
