    Don't you just love it when they cruise by to show their stuff. Such beautiful creatures. Can never get enough.

    Wonderful shot.. good thing you were ready for a great capture.

    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!"

    thanks, guys... i'd been trying to get a decent BIF shot of an eagle, and managed to get the action okay, but always with a blown-out or gray sky. this is the first really good shot i've managed with a nice blue sky background! :D
