The Bald Eagle

Bald eagles are my favorite large bird, by far!   Not actually "bald", these regal birds feature a white head full of feathers, which is beyond impressive as it gleams in contrast against a brown body.  They don't fly in flocks as many other birds do - they are a bird which enjoys solitude, and frankly, that's how I am myself, so I can relate.  The Bald Eagle has been the national bird of the United States since 1782, and eagles are a spiritual symbol for Native Americans for much longer. They were once an endangered species, but their population has grown under protection.  Still, in most parts of the country, it's rare to see one.  I have had the pleasure of photographing a few in my area and I've spent many hours watching them and studying their behavior.  Here's just a few works of art I've completed recently featuring my favorite raptor:
