Eagle from the Heavens

This past winter I had one day while on the east coast of Canada to

go and photograph Bald Eagles with a freind who knew their

whereabouts. I had hoped for good weather and light, but it was -22

degrees and snowing. It was so cold I almost couldn't feel my hands.

I did end up with some interesting images of the Bald Eagles, which

made it all worthwhile.

 

The Bald Eagle is a powerful flier, and soars on thermal convection

currents. It is partially migratory. If its territory has access to

water, it remains there year-round, but if it lacks access to water,

it migrates to the south or to the coast during winter, in order to

obtain food. The Bald Eagle selects migration routes which take

advantage of thermals, updrafts, and food resources. During

migration, it may ascend in a thermal and then glide down, circle

steadily down a stream of thermals, an updraft as it sweeps down

against a cliff or other terrain. Migration generally takes place

during the daytime, when thermals are produced by the sun.[3]

Magnificant..!!! Thanks for freezing!!!

I've seen plenty of photos of bald eagles, they have to be one of the most photographed birds, but this one is made special by the effect of the snow adding to such an already tremendous capture 7/7 anon.

Gorgeous! Thats all I can say!

Great work, well done. Best Regards, erik.
