My First!

I've seen them an eagle while out in the boat a few years ago, but never close enough to get a shot. This one was in the tree near the boat ramp. I started shooting from some distance, (to be sure I got at least one shot) then kept walking closer to the tree. Must have gotten within 30 feet of the base and it didn't bother him at all. Unfortunately, he was well camouflaged with all the small limbs! Still exciting.

@skskunky You got it right! I don't do decisions well. When in doubt - do a collage seems to be my motto :)

Instant Fav. What a magnificent bird it is. Well done here. I'm sure it was difficult to have a clear focus with all those twigs and leaves around.

beautiful! glad you got close enough this time, you'll remember this day for a while!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

You do that shoot and walk and shoot and walk thing too. You have to do that to ensure you get at least one photo of it. If I saw an eagle in the wild I would freak out! Good job!

[Milanie]

@radiogirl No - I haven't figured their's out yet - picmonkey is so quick and easy for me to make the collage in.

[Tricia O'Donnell]

SO beautiful

So jealous! I can't tell you how I'm always on the look out for eagles but haven't had much luck. Great capture! And great collage.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Wow, what a great find and captures, no wonder you wanted to make a montage! Nicely done.

[Tara]

Wow, wow, wow - this is so cool! Congratulations on getting a shot of this majestic bird. I can't wait until I get a shot of an Eagle. Well done!

[Calistah]

Yeah, you! Such an exciting shot, and it is very beautiful. I am not sure why you were worried about the branches. The leaves add more color and show him in his true environment.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Wonderful eagle pictures! How exciting that you got to photograph one of these amazing birds.
