Old Baldy

Went out shooting along the river and ran across our national bird again!

I think this is about as close as I can get to a bald eagle without him spooking... I think he was just calm as it was snowing and no people anywhere (for once).

Nice one Craig. You never have to worry about eye contact with a baldy, they are always watching with eagle eyes

Sweet shot. I do like the pose and the snowflakes are a nice touch.

One given - if you can see him he has already seen you

Ha ha!

This is super cool Craig!

Eagle encounters are one of the most exciting events in landscape photography (unless you are in British Columbia, where they are everywhere!). Nice capture, Craig.

Wonderful

Thanks Jim!!

Beautiful !
Oddly enough we have them all over the Hudson valley just 15 miles up the Hudson river from NYC and more so this time of year when they come down from Canada to fish in the Hudson in the un frozen sections.

I like how you got the pieces of snow frozen mid air

 

[BarryHamilton]

Sweet catch, Craig!! Love the snow. Very cool!

 

[Douglas Sherman]

Very nice, Craig. Congratulations on the Daily Featured Post.

That is a truly special shot! Glad to see our eagle-eyed Jim Fox got it the Daily Featured status it deserves. I got a similar image up in AK but was down below shooting up into a white featureless sky. Your image, with the rock perch and the snow appearing only against the bird is truly wonderful.
