Juvenile eagle

JUVENILE BALD EAGLE, CARP LAKE TOWNSHIP, MICHIGAN, AUGUST 25, 2011

Pentax K-5
SMC Pentax-DA 55-300 at 300mm
1/640 sec. f9
ISO 400

As I strolled along the southern shore of Lake Superior, this juvenile bald eagle swooped low, about 75 feet in the air, and loitered above for a long minute, gliding tight circles directly overhead. At last I have my close-in eagle shot for the summer, even though an adult would be more spectacular. Click the photo for a large version.
