Bald Eagle

I went to the zoo tonight for the last evening hours for the summer. The new Camera Settings Challenge is high ISO so I thought I would take some shots at ISO 1600 and see how the noise is. I have an older camera that does not handle higher ISO's well but this shot is not bad.

Love the intense stare.

@gardencat Thanks Joanne. I had to wait a while for him to turn and look at me.

Wow, look at him! He sure is looking right toward you! This is amazing!

@kchuk Thanks Elyse. He is at the Louisville Zoo so used to being looked at. We have two Bald Eagles, both with injuries serious enough that they can not be rehabbed and released.
