Worth viewing large I think.
The first of my promised eagle shots. We came upon two adult and one juvenile eagles eating some delicious morsel. This is one of my favorite shots. I think this fits with the slow down theme because it was our slowing down that let us realize that the black and white shape I was seeing was an adult bald eagle!
It has been a great year for eagles. Reminds me very much of my recent encounter, except for that nice green grass. You caught a great moment with the wings open.
@fueast It was dead. I think they were just cleaning up...too big for a rodent. Not sure what it was...dark fur. I suppose it could have been a lamby that didn't make it. I can't imagine they'd take on killing something that big
Fabulous capture, I'd love to come across something like this! There were two birds of prey floating about over one of the fields next to our house when I came home from school this afternoon, but I couldn't identify them and, of course, they'd moved on before I got my hands on the camera!
Terrific shot! It's so sharp and the adult eagle is just luminous! I love its expression, and seeing the morsel in the juvenile's mouth I've decided it has a bit of a smirk. Fav!
