BALD EAGLE

Lake Hawkins

This is one of two Bald Eagles that are at Lake Hawkins so seeing them is a treat but I couldn't get out of my car when I spotted him as he would fly off. Very wary of me, I was actually able to finally get a good shot of him even with the branch in front of him. Maybe next time I can get a good clear shot with no obstructions. Spent the day with my sister cruising all around East Texas. We don't get to see each other very often so every chance I can get to visit, I do! Was a fruitful and beautiful day!

Nice catch

Nice shot. They're quite a magnificant bird, aren't they? I have a theory about branches and birds. Whenever the bird sees a camera, its time to hide behind a branch or turn your back to the photographer.

I agree with Dave. Majestic is the word that comes to mind. And he's got his eye on you too!

Great shot. Isn't he handsome?

I have to be honest, I would be very tempted to clone that damn branch out of there. Nice shot Cindi.

I'm envious you have this bird as a subject. and I think you did quite well The blue sky sets him off very nicely.
