This is the fourth shot in the Bald Eagle sequence (Preflight Check, Flaps Up, We Have Liftoff) as the eagle heads into the mix to steal a fish. Photographed at the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve.
Pair of bald eagles there in the pines trees. No cropping here ... they filled the frame nicely at this distance.
The Female gets off the nest for a few minutes every couple of hours and takes a short flight for a little exercise.
Best viewed large.

-The term 'Bald Eagle' derives from an older meaning of the word "White Head'.

Milpitas Bald Eagle family has 2 eaglets this year. Unfortunately the younger one passed away last week. Eagle parents are checking the nest more frequently now to make sure the other eaglet is doing okay.

This Bald Eagle was high up into a tree as we were watching both eagle. The other Bald Eagle had a fish in its talons and took off a few seconds before this one did. I rattled off about 8 shots at this one as he flew towards us and went well over our heads. This is the only one in the 8 that came out good, I was really surprised when I cropped it in a bit that it still looked pretty good.

All animals in Africa bite, but the safari bug is the worst.
I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.
The world is like a book and those, who do not travel, only read the first page.
If you only visit 2 continents in your lifetime, visit Africa, twice.

The red kite (Milvus milvus) is a medium-large bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as eagles, buzzards, and harriers. The species currently breeds in the Western Palearctic region of Europe and northwest Africa, though it formerly also occurred in northern Iran.

The Bateleur eagle is the most famous of the snake eagles. Bateleur is French for 'tightrope-walker'. This name was probably chosen because of its distinctive aerial acrobatics.
The nuptial aerial display is spectacular, with steep dives by the male at the female. She will roll on her back, presenting her claws and then roll on over to right herself as he hurtles past. There may be follow-the-leader dipping and rolling flights, including 360 degree lateral 'barrel' rolls, often accompanied by very loud slapping together of the wings. This percussion can be heard from far, as well as the accompanied very loud crowing calls.
Taken near Fairmont, British Columbia.
Many thanks for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
The 3 photos in this series were taken at 3 different times. It seems the eagle has taken to these firs, and likes to perch at the very top. In the second shot, the eagle has bent its left wing forward to preen it better, thereby exposing more of its white tail feathers than we normally get to see!

I was able to get the kayak out between floods last week. Most of the times I’ve seen eagles on the river they were pretty skittish and flew anytime you got close. I was upstream of this guy and decided to to see if he’d let me float in to him and that’s exactly what happened. I was pretty excited, I had never been that close to a wild eagle, something I won’t forget anytime soon. This is a full frame shot of him.
