Juvenile Bald Eagle Leaping into Flight:

Snapped this one last week, adjacent to the Wenatchee River right here in town. I'm amazed at how quickly they gain size and strength! Only a few months ago this one was just an egg in the nest:

Beautiful GUY!!

Thanks. A second later, he was gone!

Great catch. No doubt, a major aspect of successful photography is being prescient enough to capture the moment. You've honed that skill beautifully.

Great capture Guy. Focus looks to be spot on the eye/head. With all of the limbs nearby it would have been very easy to have missed the focus on this but you nailed it.
