If the look of a bald eagle isn’t intimidating then I guess I don’t know what what intimidating means. Those piercing yellow eyes aren’t only fierce but they can spot prey at great distances. This eagle was perched on a post overlooking a pond, undoubtedly watching for ducks and fish. He only glanced at me this one time. The colorful autumn foliage make a great background. I photographed him from the car, using a beanbag support to brace the long lens I was using.
