He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himHe couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the shot. A splendid eagle with outstretched wings skimmed the water giving him a perfectly symmetrical photo. Steve Biro is the author of the shot that is going around the world.
Biro snapped the picture of the stunning white-headed sea eagle or bald eagle Bruce who lives within the Canadian Raptor Conservancy and first posted it on Reddit and some Facebook groups of photographers.
The photo shows the bird of prey flying over a body of water, with its wings perfectly spread. But not only. With his piercing eyes, she seems to be staring exactly at the target.
"It is perfectly aligned, both wings touch the water," Steve Biro told the BBC. “That [photograph] is the one that struck me, it was more special than the others but I didn't know yet that it would have all this following among the people”.
That's right. The spectacular image was appreciated and shared around the world. The birds are almost never immortalized by photographers visiting the Canadian Raptor Conservancy in Ontario. Biro was particularly lucky even if Bruce, with his close flight, practically chased him away.
“He was actually trying to get me out of the place where I was perched,” he said. "I could feel the breeze in her wings as she flew over me, while the other people who were there panted as she passed over her head - it was really exhilarating."

As soon as the photographer left the rock he was lying on, the eagle claimed its place and took up position there.
See the world through the eyes of a child. Steve Biro with his photography has been trying to do it for over 10 years and today he was really lucky.
