1908_11568 Bald Eagle

            When this eagle launched from a treetop and swooped low over the water, I told myself to slowly zoom out, so as not to clip the wings or other body parts. I had the 200-500mm lens on, ideal for this. And then... I forgot! Yes, I can forget things now in seconds; it's a recently acquired talent, useful in certain situations, but wildlife photography is not one of them. Oh, well. Things happen fast. I nailed a couple of frames, for which I'm grateful. I don't see Bald Eagles often on the prairie, and usually not close, so it was a treat to get chance after chance with them on the coast.

Photographed near Quatsino, on the wild coast of BC (Canada). Don't use this image on websites, blogs, or other media without explicit permission © 2019 James R. Page - all rights reserved.
