July 2025 - Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
About the Image(s)
Canon EOS R6 M2. 1/400 sec at f/7.1, ISO 100. Sigma 150-600 mm @ 531 mm. Hand held on Mono Pod.
I follow Alaska Cruise line early June this year. They provide land excursions for wildlife photography. Whale Watching, Bear, Eagles and Otters. The reality was not as good as it advertised. I did not get any wild life pictures. Luckily. They also brought us to a Bear sanctuary and also to Raptor Center Animal Rescue service in Sitka, Alaska. I took this Bald Eagle there. This was my best shot among about 200 eagle images.

Sounds like it was not the best trip! But this guy is great. You can tell he/she is not young! The soft background sets him/her off beautifully. Great job! Posted: 07/04/2025 17:13:52
Hi Ginny. Thanks for your comments. You are right. This was not a young bird. Posted: 07/11/2025 21:26:56
Great capture, wonderful color and detail. Soft background really helps to set the Eagle off. Posted: 07/20/2025 21:16:20
