Bald Eagles

I'm off this week and took a few days to head north to shoot Bald Eagles. I get excited every time I see one and it was a blast watching this magnificent bird hunting and soaring with the winds. I can see why it was chosen as the national symbol of the U.S.



















Benjamin Franklin had a different idea for our national symbol and thought the Bald Eagle a bird of "bad moral character... [and the] Turkey... a much more respectable bird". What do you think?
