great shots I can't wait to have time to look at mine and process some. I haven't had time to do anything except print one of my photos that I processed on the trip for my office. So many photos, so little time to work on them. Having a real job eats up to much of my time I tell ya.

Thanks Skippy. Nothing too impressive about shooting raptors 10' away at a rehab center. Sorry if I gave the impression I captured these in the wild. Guess I didn't give it much thought...and figured everyone would assume that. Silly me.

Did the eagle they brought out for you do the screaming? You got lucky. Ours just sat there, but the one on the perch, inside the gate, put on a lovely show!

Thanks for looking and commenting Kevin. Yes...the "screamin' eagle" was the one they brought out. WHat a cool bird. I also got some of the 2 eagles inside, including the perched one. Lighting was a nightmare for those though. Even worse than when they brought the birds out for us. I did enjoy the show, but wish it was a bit longer. They need a background for the photographers. Even a simple inexpensive one. This would do wonders for both the center..and the photogs.

That first shot is fantastic!

I love group photo outings

Thanks. The shoot was a lot of fun. Always like meeting new weirdos with the same hobbies. Good bunch of photogs. Now...if we can just get them old ones to listen to some good Rock 'n' Roll.

Thanks for looking Gary. It was good shooting with you. Looking forward to seeing some of your pics.

I was playing with a B&W conversion. Not sure I like it as well as the color version. The yellow beak in color is nice.
