Exelon 2020 Bald Eagle Photo Contest Award

My image received the Photographer's Choice Award in this year's contest!

It was taken on Fisherman's Wharf below the Conowingo Dam, and captured the bird we nicknamed Scooter  successfully defending his fish from a challenging juvenile. 

Scooter perched in a sycamore tree on the bank of the river as he scanned the water below waiting for his opportunity.  I had seen him doing this on several occasions. This particular morning I waited for nearly an hour. I was ready to give up when in a flash, he dove to the water and snatched his breakfast.  

It's one thing to catch a fish.  It's quite another to keep it!  Scooter kept his fish!

Mine, all mine!

 Wissahickon Waterfowl

Wissahickon Creek in Philadelphia comes alive with waterfowl in the springtime. Among those seen are Wood Ducks, Mallards, and Canada Geese. Wood Ducks are perhaps the most colorful North American waterfowl. Their breeding habitat includes wooded swamps, lakes, marshes, ponds, and creeks along both coasts of the United States. Wood ducks have sharp claws for perching in trees, and in southern regions produce two broods in a single season.

 Truk Lagoon 

My photo of Ursula Pemrose peering through the bridge window of the Shinkoku Maru was featured on the cover of the Alert Diver magazine in March 2001.

Alert Diver is the magazine of the Divers Alert Network, the industry's premier dive safety organization, headquartered in Durham, NC.

Also appearing in the same edition were two additional images, below:

Rome
Rome is a fantastically beautiful city. The Metropolitan City of Rome has a population of 4.3 million residents. Vatican City is an independent country within the city boundaries of Rome, the only existing example of a country within a city: for this reason Rome has been often defined as capital of two states. Rome's history spans more than two and a half thousand years. While Roman mythology dates the founding of Rome at only around 753 BC, the site has been inhabited for much longer, making it one of the oldest continuously occupied sites in Europe.

Commensal Emperor Shrimp and Tryon's Risbecia Nudibranch

Commensalism is a form of symbiosis where one species (the shrimp) benefits while its host (the nudibranch) gains no benefit but remains unharmed by the association. The shrimp hitches a ride while foraging the black sand bottom.

Blogger is a great tool!

I must say, I have been pleased with the user-friendliness of Blogger!
It has been fairly easy to learn, and there is great customization flexibility.
