Watchful Above the River
This bald eagle was photographed along the Mississippi River, perched high on a weathered branch with that intense, unmistakable look eagles have when they are fully aware of everything around them. What I’m most proud of in this image is the detail in the feathers and the eye, and the way the bird feels powerful without needing any motion or dramatic action.
