Bald Eagle Ballet 1699
A bald eagle pirouettes on the surface of the Susquehanna River. Well, not really. The camera may not be able to capture the range of luminosity that the human eye is capable of, but it can capture minute fragments of time too brief to be seen alone. This photo, second in a series, begins with the talon wielding eagle photo I posted yesterday. The eagle now appears to be standing on the water's surface, but it is actually still in flight, swooping in to grasp a fish just below the surface. Keen aerial acrobatics are required to do this with accuracy. A miscalculation could land the eagle in the river. That could be life threatening. Frozen in time, it all appears so serene and delicate, nothing like the hit, splash, and run that one observes with the naked eye. #ILoveWildlife #ILoveNature #WildlifePhotography in #Maryland #Nature in America #ConowingoDam #Wildlife in #America #DrDADBooks #Photography #Canon #Bringit #Picoftheday #Photooftheday
