The Bald Eagle

Took a trip out to Millford, Pennsylvania recently to shoot this breeding pair of bald eagles. They're the national bird and symbol of the United States and are beautiful and huge. For the hour and a half I spent standing in the cold/rain/snow they mostly stood looking around, mated once, and flew in a tight loop around the nest. After seeing these amazing birds in person, I'm thankful that the U.S. didn't go with the wild turkey as the national symbol instead (true story).
