Wiki
The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), also known in the United States as the American Eagle, is a bird of prey found in North America, most recognizable as the national bird and one of the primary symbols of the United States.

The species was on the brink of extirpation in the continental United States late in the twentieth century, but now has a stable population and has been officially removed from the U.S. federal government's list of endangered species. The Bald Eagle was officially reclassified from "Endangered" to "Threatened" on July 12, 1995 by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. On July 6, 1999, there was a proposal initiated "To Remove the Bald Eagle in the Lower 48 States From the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife."It was delisted on June 28, 2007.

I love the pose on this bald eagle, Annick.
And the light in his eyes and on his beak gives a lot of drama to the image. Well shown against the dark BG.

Hi Annick,
This picture is really impressive!
You got a wonderful light going just straight to its eye.
The feather at the middle of the wings seems like a light sparkle.
So good the soft and blurred background.
Congratulations for the pic and for the Mark III, I just noticed right now, what a jump!
My best regards,
JM

Hi Annick, this is a superb shot, the Eagle could not be sharper. Amazing detail on eye and beak and the pose and pov is excellent. Magnificent light and colours and the wings slightly open makes the photo dramatic and powerful.
