The Approach
The next 5 or 6 images are a series of a mature bald eagle fishing. I have seen this 1st hand numerous times but it never gets old and the quest to capture it on camera is always a challenge. I like this particular series because the conditions were nearly perfect. The sun came out and lit the bird nicely giving him a warm color. The sun also created this nice deep blue water, which helps add contrast for the bird. Additionally, the wind was blowing out of the South which gave me this desirable side profile view instead of a backside view of the bird. I would like to capture a bird fishing with the wind out of the Southwest sometime so the bird is flying right at me (maybe another trip). Enjoy, and stay tuned for the next image of the series.
