You did it before, and…………….
It must be extremely scary for a bird to take that first plunge, flying away from the safety of the nest and into the unknown. This immature bald eagle flew for the first time a day or so before this shot was taken, and it was still hesitant about doing so again. I handheld my camera and lens up to my eye for as long as I could, taking quick breaks to ease my aching arms. This went on for a good 20 minutes as it mustered as much courage as it needed. Then finally, off it went, soaring majestically into the blue sky. So glad I waited!
My sincere thanks to all who spend the time to view, like or comment on my photos. It is much appreciated!
