Don't let the weather guide your fortunes

The weather forecast for the area in Maryland where I photograph Bald Eagles called for partly cloudy skies but as I made my way down route 272 through the Lancaster County countryside, the clouds took over the sky and it was quickly 100% cloudy. Not exactly perfect Eagle photography weather. But I continued onward anyway. Sometimes you get something in your blood and you know you have to be someplace special with animals nobody else you know in your 9-5 day job is seeing. The Susquehanna River in Maryland is just such a place.

 

This Adult Bald Eagle gave us a pretty good look as he flew over us. I decided to enhance the cloudy sky with a texture by Flickr member, Fractal Artist called 203 Clouds. Thanks to Fractal Artist for the free use of the texture.
