Bald Eagle in flight again, at one of the Bird shows at the Oregon Zoo. What strikes me about this photo is the non-ordinary pose I got to capture. I love the drama and feeling of movement here. Also, I can't look at this photo without seeing him doing some kind of break dancing in the air....maybe moonwalking?
Actually, she was coming down on her normal bird show glide to the stage, but for some reason only she knows, she decided that on this day, she didn't want to cooperate and flew, instead, to the peak of the roof above the stage. She just sat up there watching the crowd. Perhaps hoping we'd put on a show for her for a change? It took the staff more than 30 minutes to coax her back down.
If a picture's worth a thousand words... I'm talkin' up a storm!

I havent commented on any of your work in a long time.. This is so beautiful. Bald eagles are so graceful.. Can't describe it. How I would love to take flight with them... Amazing picture.
It's ok, I completely understand. Thank you for the compliments. Glad you enjoyed this shot. I don't think anyone has ever gazed at an eagle in flight and not wished they could soar with them. Thank you so much.
This is so beautiful. Bald eagles are so graceful..
