Alaska – Water Wings (Bald Eagle)
Another shot from Anchor Point near Homer, Alaska. This guy had just taken off from the beach and was clipping his wings in the water as he got up to speed. Again, this place was an amazing area for Bald Eagle watching and photography!
Wet Feathers!

That is a great capture of the eagle’s wings skimming the water.

C&C – thank you – I actually got another one of a juvenile also “skimming”

Is it posted?

C&C – I hadn’t posted it as it only has a partial view of the eagle’s face – but I sent you a copy by e-mail.

Thanks Dounia – it was a great 20 minutes that we spent there – got at least one good shot for every minute!

Jennifer – and the water was COOL also!

A gorgeous capture. I like the wing tip touching the water.
August 24, 2012 at 2:57 am
Thanks Madman! I actually got a few of then touching the water as the took off or swooped in to land…. 🙂

I loved all of the eagle series, but this one is my favorite. The way his feathers are fanned out and just barely grazing the water is amazing.

Thanks Jackie – its one of my favorites also.

Lovely moment. We missed Anchor Point this trip but spent a few days on the Spit in Homer. The Eagles are a little like pigeons down there. 😉
