Photo of the Week - Jan 14/17 - "LIFE IMITATING ART" - Bald Eagle (Adult)
"LIFE IMITATING ART"
Bald Eagle (Adult) - 2 Photos
(Near Frank Lake, Alberta, Canada)
At first glance, I thought this was a decoy placed on the pole by a farmer wishing to deter pigeons, etc. and in fact, thought I was going to look very foolish when I stopped to take some shots. Another photographer falls for the old plastic eagle trick.
It wasn't until I got out of the vehicle, took some shots and it moved, that I was finally convinced it was "life" not "art". (Because of its size, believe this is an adult female.)
The second photo is the eagle flying to a tree, proving once and for all time, yes it is living and breathing. I would have liked to have it fly to a closer tree for a better landing shot but unfortunately, wildlife does not take direction well.
