On our way to the park we spotted quite a few ravens in the ditch flying around a recently killed white-tailed deer. We then spotted this bald eagle watching over the situation from the other side of the highway. The eagle was waiting for an opportunity to swoop in and take over.

I always love their haughty expression....like they just can't be bothered with us!! Great capture, Debra.

You caught the guy on a very nice pose. Impressive bird. Always a pleasure to have some shots on him but I have not seen many this summer.

I love the pose you caught here and how the feathers are ruffled up a little making the eagle look even more imposing looking. Very nice focus and detail.. the snowflakes add that perfect finishing touch to this beautiful capture Debra.
