Bald Eagle - Alaska

    Please take the time to look at some of my other work: Here are some of my best in a SLIDESHOW Or, for a quick glance, try the thumbnails of some great pics of mine.

    This Bald Eagle was at a salmon hatchery in Ketchikan, Alaska. They had TWO that had broken wings and would never fly again. Fortunately, the Bald Eagle is close to being taken off the "endangered" list.
    I saw several eagles in the wild, but not any worth showing. . .

    Best seen LARGE for the feather detail
    1 4838 cr American Bald Eagle

      This is absolutely stunning. I will be in Alaska in less than a week! I hope to see some bald eagles, but I don't have a telephoto lens for my new camera yet...

      what a sad thing to think about an eagle with broken wings not able to fly ever again ... nevertheless, this image is beautiful, the eagle of course too!

      Gorgeous capture!

      IIRC, the bald eagle is actually now off the endangered list. Great news, if you ask me!
