Big Boy on the Niagara River

602 views John Young December 3, 2016 Fort Erie, ON Date shot: December 2, 2016

While on her way to work, my other half spotted this guy in a tree at Cozy Dell on the Niagara River; knowing I am an avid birder she called and told me to get my pajamaed ass down there to see him. I actually pulled on my Levis and with Nikon in hand set out to capture the prize. As I pulled up to Cozy Dell I spotted the big boy and approached slowly in my car. I realized I could not get out without spooking him so I inched my way up under the tree he was perched in and opened the sunroof. All the while he was eyeballing me and I knew I'd have fleeting chances of capturing him. I shot probably 20 frames and got this gem. It was only moments before he spread his 6' wings and glided out over the river. What a morning!
