Stealth mode: This sleek adult eagle rockets through the sky, riding the wind like a pro. If you could fly, wouldn’t you want the wind at your back, tail feathers catching the breeze too? Onondaga Lake 9-08-2024

Spotted this guy perched in a tree down by the river at the north end of Onondaga lake, this past July. The peaceful scene just before a rainstorm was incredible. Its a good thing he wasn't in a van down by the river :-) quite near "The Dog Park! 😀

Captured this eagle from a great distance in a folder I never opened from July of 2024. It looked like he was feasting on the vibrant moss, algae, and lichens that coat the trees in a vibrant colors of green, gray, yellow, orange, and red. I managed to snap a few quick shots of this incredible scene, though I just missed getting him munching. From north of Onondaga lake

Dinner time! from Onondaga lake Syracuse NY

Brace yourselves for the return of the most notorious home-wrecker in the skies—The Sub! She's back, and she's making sure everyone knows it. Just look at that almost full adult whitehead; she's flaunting her near-grown-up look! But don't be fooled—those telltale signs of her past markings and that not-quite-fully-colored beak are dead giveaways. She's not done yet, folks! Keep your eyes on the sky and your fish and adult males under lock and key! ps, this is only my opinion:-)

During an unforgettable outing with my eagle photographer friend Chris Sinclair, we were fortunate to witness an incredible rainbow just where we were looking. It disappeared for a few seconds only to return stronger than before, sparking an idea in both of us simultaneously. The main image was captured with my little Z6 using a 24-70 Z lens, while the eagle was brought in from my Z9. If you've read this far, yes, it's a composite of just two images! 😊
What's at the end of your rainbow?

A quick moment on the east shore of Onondaga Lake this August—a majestic eagle soaring gracefully in the morning light.

Captured a powerful moment at Onondaga Lake— This screaming eagle, eyes locked upwards, as an osprey with lunch flies just out of frame

08/21/2024

Just rolled in at 6:10 PM 08-20-2024, and spotted the eagle hanging out. By 6:11 PM, he threw me a wink before taking off to give an osprey a hard time over its fresh catch! Onondaga Lake

From the east shore of Onondaga Lake, Just before 8 a.m. this morning,(08-19-2024) and moments before the skies unleashed their fury, this eagle took a quick glance toward the lake...maybe looking for an Ark? Not to worry though, I made it back just in time :-)

08/13/2024

As it stretched its wings, looking over the tranquil east shore of Onondaga Lake. A breathtaking moment of pure freedom and beauty as it liftoffs!

Captured this morning 08-12-2024, at 8:00 AM on Onondaga Lake, Syracuse, NY: An eagle soaring in, just as a quick storm approaches.

08/09/2024

After a long, stormy day, the sun finally made an appearance 9 hours later. And look who I found basking in the afterglow!

From Onondaga Lake 8-9-2024, An eagle strains its eyes toward the horizon, searching for food? the warmth of the sun? or perhaps the end of the relentless downpour! haha!

08/08/2024

Al parents know, there's a time to just let em squawk !

08/05/2024

Perched on a log in the bog! Sometimes, I like to add textures or painted effects to my photos, (in the hope for a sale) but with this guy, a basic edit and a touch of vignetting were all it needed. I captured him chilling out, seemingly cleaning up after a messy breakfast. What a beauty! 8-05-2024 .com .com

08/04/2024

A seemingly amused eagle being entertained by a what I believe is a Northern Mockingbird! (Most likely, I'm wrong) The contrast between the majestic eagle and the feisty mockingbird made for a perfect shot.

08/02/2024

A majestic Pileated Woodpecker decided to float right by me. These birds are enormous and incredibly fast, yet this one glided around me with the grace of a butterfly.

It's hard to believe that just 3 1/2 months ago, this juvie was a cute little fuzzy-headed tyke screaming for food. Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to capture it screaming again, but this time with all the ferocity of an adult looking for its next meal. Not sure why it bolted out of the tree like this, but I like to think it was showing off just for me!

07/27/2024

Is this eagle shy, coy, or simply playful? Capturing this image was particularly challenging because I broke one of my steadfast rules! The backlit green leaves created a splash of vibrant green all over the bird.

Pro tip: Create a custom white balance in your camera and use it for your exposure instead of relying on the camera's internal white balance system! Then just go back to your original setting (and it really helps to shoot RAW)

Under the watchful eye of momma eagle (picture below), these juvie siblings already know how to give momma 'The Look'. As mom and dad slowly relinquish their time with the offspring, I wonder what they are thinking. Are they hungry and waiting for a handout? Scared? It's fascinating to observe their interactions (extreme crop) .com

Behold the majestic portrait of this area's resident eagle, (north of Onondaga Lake) taking a well-deserved moment of relaxation. With two eaglets successfully fledged yet still close by, both eagle parents can now keep a watchful eye as their young ones explore and learn the ropes. It's a heartwarming sight to see these magnificent creatures thrive in our community! 07-12-3024

Here's an adult eagle pushing a juvenile around on the frozen Onondaga Lake ice! This rare moment was captured on February 21, 2024, when it was around 25°F. It's one of the only two times this year I was able to snap some icy images at the Creekwalk. I really enjoyed capturing the interaction between these two majestic birds. Click to enlarge and look at the detail—this image is basically SOOC (straight out of the camera). Enjoy the heat while appreciating this winter wonder!

07/12/2024

Captured this unexpected moment on 3-5-2024 from the eastern shore of Onondaga Lake in Syracuse, NY. This eagle swooped in from behind, straight up to its perch, like it thought I was after its catch! The intense stare it gave me definitely gave me the heebie-jeebies!

07/03/2024

Captured this striking composite of an eagle (whom we call "the Sub") on April 20, 2024, at the eastern shore of Onondaga Lake. 🦅 While it may not be the typical 4th of July firework, this piece is my own little explosive way to celebrate our nation’s independence. 🇺🇸 I understand if the admin decides to block this post, but I hope you enjoy this powerful symbol of freedom and strength as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Today is the perfect day to share this snapshot! Back in April, (4-11-2024 Onondaga Lake) after a wild, windy rainstorm, I spotted this guy from afar. I don't often use my tele-converter, but I had to this time to capture this wet-headed subject. It seems like this bird enjoys being in the spotlight! Haha Extreme crop!

06/27/2024

Back in April, during a heavy windstorm, Buster seemed quite agitated. Was it the wind that ruffled his feathers? or perhaps an order from Babs? Whatever it was, it was quite a sight to see! Our majestic eagle has a personality all his own. From the eastern shore of Onondaga Lake
