Robert Bateman - Majesty On The Wing - Haliaeetus leucocephalus

"On a quiet winter day in the mountain range, the moisture in the air turns to mist
along the snowy slopes. The bald eagle flies down the valley searching for an open
stretch of river. In winter it is possible to see a dozen or more of these great birds
along the shores of fast-moving mountain waterways.

The air is the eagle's domain, and I wanted to capture the presence of the atmosphere.
The wings seem to seize volumes of air. I have orchestrated the shapes of the snow
patches to echo the strokes of the wing feathers and to emphasize the thrust of the
bird through the air. I have usually observed bald eagles in a landscape of somber
power and that is the mood I sought to portray."
