Bald Eagle (NH) - At Rest

Bald Eagle overlooking his home - pontook dam in NH.

This is another of those photos that we keep trying to improve on (getting closer, getting best light), but it's so hard to get close without disturbing them.

We love bald eagles and often think of going to Homer for those incredible photos, but then we realise the time and effort and how much more difficult it has been to find local eagles to photograph. We keep trying for those closer, more intimate, more specular shots but also come home empty handed many times. The eagles are around, but somethimes don't want to be photographed, it's a challenge we love to try and conquer.
