Bald Eagle

[Joseph Przybyla]

I captured this image at Circle B Bar Reserve in late September. This was the first day I saw eagles after the summer without them. The sky was overcast, the whole week was overcast which is unusual for Florida. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Hi Joe, great being able to photograph this magnificent bird,that's more than a twig it's carrying, it's a great looking flight shot, very well done getting this.

Thanks for the PM.
Keith.

Soar strong and carry a big stick. Excellent capture, Joe.

I like the wing position, behaviour and composition. Nice image Joe.

Beautiful catch -- this guy must be doing a major remodel. I've heard their nests can be size of a VW Bug.
