This weeks submission for Bird Photography Weekly showcases a photo of an adult Bald Eagle (which I believe to be male). The photograph was taken this past weekend over the cove off our back yard. This is one of the best in-flight Bald Eagle photos I have ever taken!
To learn more about the story on this photo, please read my previous post, “Beautiful weather, many birds“.

I can see why it’s one of your best flight shots, it’s stunning!
Excellent!
Wow- brilliant photo of a lovely impressive bird!
The Osprey looks just like the one that flew over me in my garden in West Lodon UK – not a usual occurance at all! Brought back to my memories with your photo.
Glad I found your blog – will be looking in again soon!
I’m so envious, John! A bald eagle over your back yard! With a great photo to boot!
That is a fantastic photo! and I went and read the post from the previous day and it makes the photo even better!! A great day with all those sitings.
That is a magnificent photo! How lucky to have eagles so close to your house.
John, what a perfect picture!!! It belongs in a magazine! Such a gorgeous eagle.
This is absolutely wonderful. How great to have them living so near!
Thanks everyone!
Now that we know where the nest is at, we will be watching for fledged Eaglets. From a safe distance of course!
Excellent work! Definitely one of the best Eagle flight shots I’ve ever seen!!
John!!!
At first I refused to enlarge this picture, I just did not want to cry, but as a birder, I could not resist and have been contemplating it for 20 minutes. This is just the kind of picture which makes me wordless!!! Almost could not breath, that is the most amazing shot ever, and a flying shot!!! One can only say well done master
Your pictures are just awesome. They are such breath taking birds. I love to watch them. I am so glad that I found this site. I really enjoy reading the info and especially looking at the pictures. Others are right – you are very lucky to be living so close to the eagles. These are some of the very best eagle pictures that I have ever seen. Looking forward to seeing more of your pictures.
Super shot John! Not only a terrific sighting, but you managed to capture it magnificently. Woo!
I have seen a lot of Bald Eagle photos John and I must say, this in flight capture is one of the best I have ever had the pleasure to ponder! It is absolutely stunning!
I hope everyone reading this post clicks on your link to the previous post with the eagle/osprey story and all of your other sightings on that beautiful day! The shots of the Red Fox kit are incredible!
What a beautiful shot! I love Eagles, they are just so regal. Fantastic job!
Stunning shot. Wow. You really framed that one!
And congrats for the high visitor numbers. Was that thanks to Bird Photography Weekly (a good shot helps of course!!) or do you have some other tricks for such good numbers?
