I got out shooting very little in December, but did get out to a refuge in the Pacific Flyway one day. My friend Dali and I were lucky enough to see this Bald Eagle and another one just outside the frame. In fact I was busy photographing the other Eagle and didn’t see this one at first as it was behind a branch. I heard Dali say,” Is that? What is that? Oh! It’s another Eagle with a catch! Come see!” So of course I moved to see then started photographing this one. He gave me the eye then continued eating. What a neat and exciting bird to see and photograph it is.
It was a great day of birding photography.
