Bank on it! 3163
A bald eagle banks a turn over the Susquehanna River at Conowingo Dam, in Maryland. We banked on a good day of photographing fishing eagles today, however, there's more to the task than simply good light and the presence of birds. Currents need to bring the fish close enough to the shore for meaningful photos, but more importantly, prevailing winds should be at your back. Eagles, like many birds, tend to take off and land facing into the wind. If the wind is blowing in your face, the eagle will generally be facing away from you when it dives to catch a fish. You basically end up with, well,......."end up!" Fishing eagle tail shots just aren't that exciting. That being said, there were plenty of good flight shots to go around. That's something you can bank on! #ILoveNature #iLoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #Maryland #Nature in #America #USA #BaldEagles #DrDADBooks #Canon #Bringit #Photography #picoftheday #Photooftheday
