The male screaming at the female? Wonder if it was: "You want me to go and catch a Salmon, before you'll even consider sex?!!!"

Location
The photo was taken on my way home from the Winter Wings Festival in Oregon. This is my first photo taken with a digital camera. Actually, it's the second photo of a 12 photo mating sequence.Time
12:30 p.m.Lighting
Of course the light wasn't in my favor at high noon but I managed to get as close as I could with the sun partially behind me.Equipment
1 day old D7000 and the older Nikon 80-400mm lens.Inspiration
Seeing the American Bald flying around is an awesome experience. I guess I could say I got addicted to them.Editing
Not really, this is it!In my camera bag

The positioning and the right time of day is the catch. Then finding them is a great catch ever, just a big rush. The last photo, after they completed their 5 second love affair they've their heads neck to neck, eyes closed like smoking a cig after the act of contentment, really something!!
