Immature bald eagle, Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.

On the first bear trip we had a very cooperative bald eagle!  Cool to seem him so close!  This was with a Canon 100-400 on a full frame 5D IV in aperture priority with +1 exposure compensation.  Slightly cropped.

Although we had lots of bears, we had other wildlife as well, including a pair of fearless red fox!
