The book contains images of Bald Eagles bathing, swimming, fighting, landing, taking off, portraits, etc. All images are the result of the eagles coming to these locations specifically to bathe.
The title must contain the three words 'bald', 'eagle/s', and 'bathing'.
The best I could come up with is 'Bald Eagle Bathing Behavior'.
I have been told this sounds too much like the title of a scientific paper.
Any brilliant suggestions will be welcome. Even mediocre ones will be read.
wow- the photograph is really amazing. I love the expression on the bird's face, and how his feathers are due to the water. Catching the water drops in mid air with a fast shutter is awesome. What were you shooting? settings? sorry no book title suggestions
In my very un-educated opinion, I do not think the word bathing should be in the title., with the restrictions you have in this thread, there doesn't seem to be much choice.
This photo is breathtaking. I don't know if this is a brilliant or even mediocre title but how about something like this - "Bath Time at the Watering Hole" Bald Eagles in the Wild. I would love to see more of your work. Can you tell us specifics about your work - lens, camera etc.

Tony, no can do with the 3 required words. I just wonder why a photographer so romantic and lyrical as you requires a title so dry and technical. Just to indicate that I did spend time on your query, my favorite is "bald eagles' water music".
Gee Tony, that's pretty limiting, having to use those 3 words in the title. Can't come up with a catchy one, mediocre or not, right off the top of my head, I'll mull it over. And personally, anything like "Bald Eagles Bathing" sounds too mundane for your captures. This is one heckuva shot along with the others I've seen here. Congrats on your upcoming book!

Too late. I thought 'bathing' sounded pretty wet. I will keep you version in mind for the DVD edition that will actually have real music with it.
