Soar into the world of...

BIRDS

From their vibrant colors to the exotic landscapes where they dwell, the beauty of birds has no boundaries. I can only imagine what it would be like to see the world through the eyes of a bird. What a feeling it would be to soar the skies, looking over the earth below! This collection of fine art photography is just a snapshot of that beauty as seen through my lens.

Bald Eagles

Alaska is probably one of the best places in the world to witness an abundance of Bald Eagles. During a trip to Ketchikan, Alaska, I had the opportunity to photograph these majestic birds of prey up close and personal. This series of images highlights America's greatest natural symbol captured through the lens of my camera.

The Bald Eagle is one of the most beautiful and majestic birds that I have had the opportunity to observe in the wild. Watching their grace in flight and "Power" when they strike is a spectacle to witness. With 20/5 vision (4 times better than the average human), it's easy to see how "Focused" they are when zeroing in on their prey.

This series of images are some of my personal favorites in my fine art photography collection of birds.

Just Added!

Capturing a clear close-up of this majestic Bald Eagle was a great image itself. However, I had no idea that I had also captured the reflection of the sun in its eye.

This image was shot near Carlsbad, New Mexico.
