Taking Flight by swchappell

Taking Flight

I've heard that they are sometimes there, but this was the first time I've seen an eagle at the wildlife refuge. He mostly sat on the edge of an empty osprey stand, was fortunate to get this shot as he flew away.
The talons are huge!

Awesome capture.

What a great capture with stretched wings and legs! Those talons seem ready to grab something.

So flapping (sorry) cool! Awesome. Well done!
