Birch Lake Eagle
I am especially interested in photographing bald eagles and ospreys. We have a fairly large population of both where I live, in northwestern Wisconsin. I get my best shots when out on one of the lakes. I don't fish, but my boyfriend does. One day, at a spot known to usually provide considerable fish action, several boats were arranged in a large and roughly circular fashion, while the guys and gals waited for a bite. Suddenly, an eagle seemed to just fall out of nowhere. He hit the water, scooped up a fish, and took off for parts unknown. Given how sound carries on the water, I could hear a collective grown go up from people who probably wished they could do the same thing!
The bald eagle is a bird of prey found in North America. A sea eagle, it has two known subspecies and forms a species pair with the white-tailed eagle, which occupies the same niche as the bald eagle in the Palearctic. Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico.
