Taken Tues. at Rock Island, IL, on the Mississippi. The bird was soaring, searching for lunch, flying an "S" pattern over the open water below the Lock and Dam. I don't know if the light or pose works as well as it should. Most of the other images in the series were flat flying. This is full frame.
Canon 30D, 600mm, 1/800, f/9, ISO400 - metered off the sky and added 1 stop to try and avoid blowing out the white head (not too successful).
