here's the new contender for worst picture ever taken of a bald eagle in existance by the way

[ID: An extremely out of focus photo of a clear blue sky, with reflections from a car window causing a spot of lighter blue with faint rainbows. In the background are two extremely blurry black spots. End ID.]

[ID: The same image, now with Spongebob's pointing hand edited in to point at the blurrier dot on the right, which has a yellow circle around it. End ID.]

Truly magnificent

[ID: A cropped version of the blurry dot, showing a faint darker blue smudge against the pixely sky blue background, shaped like a small straight line. End ID.]

it's also lovely that the nictitating membrane of the eagle is visible here!

"I laugh when I look at this shot - one in a million chance of capturing the precise moment when these birds are locked in eye to eye!

Out in my boat fishing one morning, I noticed that an eagle was being harassed by a blue jay on the shoreline next to my cabin. The blue jay’s relentless attacks were only mildly irritating to the eagle. The big bird’s facial expression was one of pure disdain. Jays are fiercely territorial - the eagle had perched near the jay’s nest and the jay was determined to protect its young.

My boat floated closer and closer to the skirmish and I knew that I might be able to capture a special moment if I just kept shooting. I love the image for so many reasons. The eagle is protecting its most valuable secret weapon - its eyes - by sliding a thin membrane over its eye just as the jay flies by. The jay is executing a ninja move as it makes its escape. And I love the way the image illustrates the sheer contrast in size between the enormity of the eagle’s body and the small silhouette of the blue jay.

I’ll always be thankful that I was in the right spot at the right time."
