    Excellent - must have been fun. Looks like you were able to get relatively close as well.

    Awesome. I think its great that people who don't often get an opportunity to see a Bald Eagle much less photograph one have almost a reverence for them. I talked to a guy who frequents Alaska and he talked about them being like buzzards there. Not in Oklahoma. I see them in the winter, but have never gotten close enought to photograph one. Excellent capture!

    This is great. On my way home from work, I pass by a nesting pair of eagles. Most of the time I only see the nest. Every once in a while I see the Birds, but I have yet to get a picture that I would consider worthy.

    This is indeed worthy. One of these days, though. One of these days...

    Well done.
