Heavy Overhead
Earlier this week I had this bald eagle do an overhead cruise just above my location.
This eagle is one half of our local mated pair that we’re hoping may have chicks this year.
That should be good news for us as we hope to be able to capture action shots of them hunting for food to feed the youngsters. Bad news for the area coot population though, who have no idea they could become the main item on the eagle buffet!

Love the second shot detailing the feather – i did see quiet a few of these in the States they are power and grace merged
That’s a great description!
The only term Scott left off was ‘pirate’. 🙂
Although fully capable of catching their own food there are more then happy to take a meal from some other bird that worked for it.
They are a good looking bird and I’m always thrilled to see one and getting a shot at photos is just icing on the cake.
Thanks much Scott.
Great captures. 😀
Thanks very much. 🙂
This was a real treat to see! – fabulous details all over, and I love the sunlight shining through the tail feathers.
Glad you liked seeing the eagle! Those tail feathers do look cool on these birds. 🙂
Truly amazing…Love the action shots eagles in flight on your blog
I appreciate the kind comments about my eagle photos Charlie, thanks.
Such an awesome bird! I wish them luck in breeding this year and hope the eagle that had lead poisoning is doing well.
