Bald Eagle Bald Eagle
(Haliaeetus leucocephalus)


On a visit to Alaska in 1992 the locals said the Spring was the latest it had been for 30 years. One day the temperature was -15ºC and the next it was +5º; Spring was to last about 10 hours and then Summer arrived.

The birds arrived immediately - how did they know?

The next week end I took my little hire car to Homer, near the sea, and there saw lots of Bald Eagles, this adult was looking particularly majestic and has become one of my favourite images.
