As I was entering the Viera Wetlands Saturday 1/10/2009 I noted a number of cars parked under an old tree trunk with a Eagle on it. I proceeded to that location, and ended up taking over 500 shots of the Eagle on that tree and later another tree a few yards away.

The following are some shots on the first tree. The Eagle after about an hour departed this tree and captured a fish in the lake, then proceeded to another tree to consume his dinner. I will post some of those photos in a later post.

    Hi Ira, I have to say #4 & 5 are my favorites. I have one question though.. HOW do you get an EAGLE to stay in a tree for OVER AN HOUR..rolleyes1.gifrolleyes1.gif Are you guys putting something in the water down there..rolleyes1.gif You better be careful or they're going to stop calling the birds in Florida.. "Wildlife".
    Way to go..clap.gif

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    2, 4 and 5 stand out. I'd love to go to Viera just for the eagle. Nice series.
