Bald Eagle at Delta Ponds

Whoopee! I saw a pair of bald eagles at Delta Ponds this morning. I caught this one in a tree before they flew away. It's always a thrill to see them. They are not a common sight, but we have seen them more often in recent years. There is a eagle nesting tree on the north side of Skinner Butte. Perhaps this is the pair that nests there. The image was shot in DX mode and also cropped. It was a difficult shot because of the dark day and shooting against the sky.

Good capture in difficult light. Good use of exposure bias.

Unique catch.
John Ewing19-Nov-2014 15:39
Well caught, Vern!

They always have that "make my day" look about them.

We have golden eagles in the Alps but none so close to home.

Nicely composed.
Ed R 19-Nov-2014 15:00
Tough pov on this one. But, you did well. They are lovely to watch when soaring over the "beach house" at the coast.
