Eagle Butt Shot......
Not the shot the pros are looking for!
All the famous Bald Eagle photo's are front on. Glaring eyes, and talons out stretched. The closer and the sharper the better. In the photo above I was thrilled with the setting. Maybe the last meal delivery for the night? A colorful sunset. The actual scene of what the Bald Eagle parent built. Home (at least for a period).
I could have pushed up the ISO or opened the aperture a little more. It seemed more dramatic with the almost 100% silhouette. Shot with my 600mm lens on the biggest Gitzo I have, hopefully this photo reflects a little light of the home of the Bald Eagle.
Look at the size of the nest. One twig at a time. In the top of a tree that the Eagle can see any direction from. They fish daily to feed the young. Breaking off morsels small enough to not choke the chicks. There is on this day a view to remember. Beautiful!
