Bald Eagle Guards @ Blackwater NWR

One of my favorite subjects to photograph are Bald Eagles. I have found them in a variety of locations, even a nesting pair in a Shop Rite Parking lot. But my Favorite place for photographing Bald Eagles is the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Maryland. Many times you see them just hanging out along the Wildlife Drive and they do not seem to be bothered by your presence as long as you do not get too close, so I use a Canon 400mm with a 2X teleconverter or a 150-600mm lens with or without Teleconverters.

Blackwater NWR Bald Eagle Above Me

I am still cleaning up my Backup Drives and found this Bald Eagle image that was soaring directly above me at the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Maryland. I was using a Canon 400mm DO Lens with a 1.4x Teleconverter on a Canon 1D mkIII.
