Bald Eagle Trout Fishing on Deschutes River
Uploaded: August 01, 2008
ISO 400, f8, 1/320 sec, Canon 400 mm DO IS lens plus 1.4X extender, handheld. On a recent raft trip on the Deschutes River in central OR, I witnessed this Bald Eagle circle over the river, and then drop down with the obvious intention of catching a fish. Normally, they fly with their legs tucked up against their bellies. As this bird got close to water level, he extended his legs and then dove for the water. He came away with a huge wild rainbow trout, which I also got an image of as he lifted off. Unfortunately the actual grab of the fish was behind a tree from my location.
Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.33, ExposureTime: 1/320 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 560.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D
