19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Fishing

It's an action shot of fishing bald eagle captured 2 weeks ago at Conowingo Dam in Maryland where dozens eagles migrate through in late fall. The park is packed with photographers carrying telephoto lenses. The crowd starts 5:30am for best shooting spots and parking spaces. By 7:30am, all the parking spaces are taken and late comers have to park 2 miles away and walk down a long hill to the park with their heavy gear. I have been going for several years during the fall.
