Nest Sitting is Hard Work!

You can surely tell what a hard job nest sitting is from this photo! Look, the Bald Eagle parent has its tongue hanging out! I never realized what a job it is! This was a very difficult shot! Here I am always wishing for a sunny day for my photo shoots and then, when I get one, I realize it is far from the best lighting. The harsh contrasts made getting decent whites almost impossible, without under exposing so much that there would be no detail in the shadows. Oh for a day with softer lighting! I just am never satisfied! :)

Still, an excellent capture of this nest-sitting bald eagle! Interesting that its tongue is hanging out; maybe it was too warm for it?

I really like the color and composition, Vern. I also find the shadows draw the eye to the bird! In this case bending the rules makes the photo more pleasing to the eye!

Marvelous shot, Vern. Maybe it was the heat too. Mommy or Daddy eagle was just thirsty. LOL
