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...

a fine portrait of this eagle. I may have reported this one to the raptor center as I am constantly chasing these Ketchikan eagles around for photos and have reported a number of injured birds. You did a fine job of capturing "the look" here!
