The American Bald Eagle is certainly a force of nature yet one of the most beautiful creatures ever created. I simply love this bird.

There is something inspiring about watching these tiny hummingbirds go about their business. They are fast and fearless and so much fun to watch!

Capturing this single moment is one of the most challenging things to photograph when photographing these eagles fishing. While this image captures t
