My 12 hours on the river paid off late in the afternoon when this adult Bald Eagle came fishing close to the shoreline. The day started off very cloudy and as the sunshine eventually came out, the Eagles were not in the mood to fish until later in the day. Sometimes you just have to be extremely patient and put in your hours being ever vigilant and aware of where all the birds are and what they are doing. Wildlife photography is not for those with a short attention span.
Taken on Sunday afternoon 9-13-2009 over the Susquehanna River in Maryland.
