Sometimes I go out to shoot and get no keepers. Lately that's been rare. But on my last outing, the best I could get was this one...

| Bald Eagle |
The eagle above was in a tree with another eagle, probably its mate. They both took off and flew to a tree deeper in the woods, where they perched for a long time.

It was a really cold morning, and a large portion of the shallow Occoquan Bay was frozen over. I spotted this eagle standing on the ice, and that might be another one to the far right. But they were too far away to get anything useful...

Later I spotted this immature eagle, back-lit, so the best I could get was this silhouette.

The eagle shown above took off and hunted for fish over the bay, but I couldn't get to the shore and my view of the hunting bird was obscured by shoreside trees.
I walked farther and spotted another pair.

And that was it for the day. There were eagles in view for most of my walk, but they didn't cooperate. I took very few shots, and the only reason I even bothered with any of them was because I sometimes find keepers when I look at them later. Even though I didn't come away with anything useful, I had a good walk in the park.
