Birds In Flight at Bombay Hook NWR

I enjoy photographing birds, even more so the challenge of photographing them in flight.  My recent visit to Bombay Hook NWR did not disapoint.

At the start of the wildlife drive, I was immediately welcomed by an American Bald Eagle.

After the thrill of clicking away, I had hopes that this was a sign of more good things to come.

It was.  It turned out to be an awesome day practicing flight photography.
