Very nice timing Yves, you have captured the massive wingspan perfectly.

Thank you very much Debra. He was very far away and quite small in the photo. It needed a big croping to present the massive wingspan. So glad the camera could achieve that with that good details.

Thank you very much Heather. I am capturing that impressive wingspan few times a year for many years now and I'd say it's my best shot at it so far.

Description
About to land on the bank of the Magog river. Notice the feathers moving in the air turbulence due to the shifting wings position.
