Description
This really wet American bald eagle was photographed in rural Osceola County near Kenansville, Florida. Just before this shot was taken he dove into the water for a fish, but came up empty. It seemed to me that he had gone deeper in the water, and stayed there longer, than most eagles I've seen. Indeed he struggled to get back into the air. In this shot he was about 40 feet from landing on a perch where he spent forty-five minutes to an hour drying himself out. Once dry, he took off effortlessly and headed back in the direction of his nest.
