The last few trips to the large marshes Eagles have been active. While we did miss the ultimate photograph (fishing so close the lens was too big, sneaking in from behind, etc.) I did grab a few worth saving.
As usual the tall reeds were not my friend. I caught this dive, then he disappeared into the marsh.
Low passes were plentiful this morning, blue sky over exposed more shots than I care to think of.
Above was a fun shot. This Eagle went low over everything else out there fishing. Ibis scattered while even the big Egrets and Herons took notice.
Wood Storks, well as expected, they didn’t flinch.
Wonderful shots, Ted. You were able to capture some wonderful details of the eagle’s feathers.
Thanks. For a few days there were 5 – 6 at any given time hunting / fishing. Most of the time they kept their distance. One caught us completely by surprise, came from behind us. We were focused else where and heard the splashes right next to us.
Beautiful flight shots!
Always fun shooting them.
