Conowingo Bald Eagle
To Eagle enthusiasts Conowingo Dam in Maryland, USA is what a Candy store is like to the kids. Every year during migration time between Oct - Dec a lot of eagles congregate by the dam for easy picking of fish that are stunned by the release of water from the dam. And that brings a lot of photographers and eagle watchers.
I have been hearing about this place for a long time. So last year in Sept when my wife attended a conference in National Harbor I tagged along and one day I drove down there to see the place. Mind you it was not the peak season, I only got to see 7-8 eagles. As this particular one banked against the dam and prepared to dive for the fish I kept on shooting and just when the eagle dove for the fish the camera buffer ran out; I forgot the limitation of the camera that I was carrying. Ah well, at least I got this shot and I like the backdrop. A few of us will be heading out to the dam next week and hope to see and capture some real actions that this place is famous for.
