Rare encounter

Recently, I had the rare chance to capture a truly majestic moment at Agamon ha-hula in northern Israel, an EAGLE! soaring gracefully across the early morning sky right after rain. The mist still lingered over the wetlands when it appeared, gliding low and powerful, its wide wings slicing silently through the air and the stare he stared right into my lens.

For me, every encounter with an eagle feels sacred. Their presence commands respect the strength, the precision, and that piercing gaze that sees everything. It’s these brief, breathtaking moments that keep me coming back to the wild.

This photo is part of a new series I’m working on, documenting birds of prey across Israel. Stay tuned for more soon.

Stay wild,
