Flight of the Steppe

[Kaustuv Chatterjee]

Shot at Tal Chappar earlier this year in Feb. This was near the 'saucer' / 'pool' whatever it is known by - a small depression amidst the grassland within the park where water collects / is pumped into. Raptors congregate around this spot in large numbers. I saw approx 8 Steppe eagles and 1 juvenile Eastern Imperial one here.

Shot with the Nikon D90, Nikkor 300mm f4 + TC 14E, at 420mm, ISO 250, 1/1600s - F/6.3 at noon

Nice flight pose captured. Good eye contact. Some more details would have enhanced the image further. Thanks for sharing.
