What a nice capture, Gail. It's a relaxed flight pose with a nice head turn. Your details, exposure and sharpness are just spot on. I like the feel of the sky here. Have a great trip full of a lot of great shooting opportunities!

I'll echo what Marina said. Lovely image!

Hi Gail, and I was just planning to come over to capture some Bald eagles. Great banking pose, sharp and well exposed. I do like the hint of clouds in the sky.
