Pure Concentration
This mature Bald Eagle is concentrating on landing atop the stump in the foreground in the final seconds of flight and while it's snowing. Plus the stump top is snowy and probably icy to boot, so precautions are necessary for the eagle to prevent a face plant in the snow if unsuccessful. Amazing to watch these birds live their lives.
Update: Nice to see this was selected as a photo for a 2024 Alaska Wildlife and Wilderness calendar produced by Greatland Graphics.
Taken 18 February 2020 near Homer, Alaska.
