JUVENILE BALD EAGLE, GREEN, MICHIGAN, MAY 24, 2012


Pentax K-5
SMC Pentax-F* 300mm f4.5 ED (IF) with Kenko 1.5x teleconverter (450mm total)
1/750 sec. f8
ISO 1600

This young eagle, perhaps a yearling, squatted for several minutes on a log crib just west of our place on the Lake Superior beach and allowed me to creep within photographing range before soaring off. He ducked repeatedly as two small birds dive-bombed him all the while; I wonder what he had done to piss them off so.
