Beautiful pictures, Leedra, of the eagle. I love them all--but there's something about that first one that I really like.

We were supposed to get 1-2 inches of snow this morning. It didn't happen. NOT a flake!!!! Am I surprised??? ha

Hugs,
Betsy

He is so handsome. Working on my bird id.... would have sworn it was cowbird... but I learn something new everyday! Thanks for the help.

You definitely captured the fierce intelligent looks of their eyes! They are one of the most remarkable birds in my opinion! (It's a tie for me between the Loons and the Eagles!)

Shelley - your humor just reaches out and gets a person, you had me laughing with the comment about the loon. You will do so good with this talk about blogging and birding.

When will we start seeing loon photos again?

I hate to see them in captivity, but what a wonderful photo opportunity and chance to see one so close. Terrific shots.

Leedra said...

Mary - Was in captivity due to an injury, not able to fly. Should have said that.

I really enjoyed that and love the Bald Eagle, we saw one flying over the lake a month or so ago!!

Great shots of the eagle. I can only see them at a distance here, but I have videotaped them at long range with a powerful lens in our elk range. I need to get some good eagle still photos.

They are such magnificent birds! But it was awesome being so close!

Carletta said...

Ruth said exactly what I was thinking. I've seen them in captivity but long to see one in the wild. You got some great shots!

I like these photos. It is almost as if he is saying, "Yes, look at how beautiful and powerful I am!"

Jen said...

Powerful bird!

Rose said...

Wonderful shot! They have to be about the most handsome bird and you captured it so well.

Your eagle shots are stunning and the background color is really appropriate for such a regal bird.
