Bald Eagle
Bald Eagle Perched in Tree. Photo taken on Febuary 6, 2022 in South Kortright, NY.
THE STORY
My SO and I have been dating for 2 years. His mother repeatedly mentions the large number of Bald Eagles she drives by on her commute to work every day that are perched in trees along a nearby river. For 2 years now, every time I visit their home, we drive by the river so that I can photograph the Eagles. For 2 years, until today, I haven't seen a single one. She sees them so frequently, while I saw them never, so often over the last couple years that it became a running joke that I was just unlucky, or they somehow knew I was in town. Finally, after begrudgingly getting up at 7am to go out in 10F weather, I finally, finally, saw some eagles. And I was just lucky enough to find a tree with two parents and their baby.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: Etsy does not allow multiple shipping profiles based on variations. Therefore, if you are an international customer and you do not agree with the cost of shipping, please email me prior to purchase. I am more than happy to work with you to get an accurate quote from the photo lab for the cost of shipping.
----------------
Please note: Each item is made to order so the processing time is approximately one week because I get my photos printed from a professional lab. Because of this, I do not accept returns unless they arrive damaged or have an obvious factory fault. If this is the case, please contact me at your earliest convenience.
The color on your monitor may vary slightly than the actual printed result.

PHOTOGRAPHER BIO:
Not at all a full-time photographer, I just recently finished my Master’s Degree focusing in Ecology, Behavior, and Evolution. I’m also starting a veterinary technician program in order to become a wildlife and zoo veterinary technician. The proceeds gained from my photos will be used to fund my future education in veterinary technical school.
I’ve always had a passion for animals, the outdoors, and photography. I do my best to capture images that make you feel as though you’re actually there. While digital photos often are beautiful, in the frequent words of my mother, “Can we look at it on a large screen? I can hardly see it on your phone,” I’m taking her suggestion one step further. Imagine looking at the photo on your wall. Imagine being able to see the detail one step shorter than actually being there. That’s my goal.
I hope you enjoy experiencing the natural world through my eyes and immersing yourself in my adventures.
