23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Our National Symbol Takes Off
This is a photograph of our national symbol -- An American Bald Eagle -- taking off from its nest on March's Point, Fidalgo Island. The magificent bird was originally seen at the nest but then chose to take off right before I caught this photo.
