Raymond J Barlow · Nov 22, 2005

dug up a shot from 2 months ago...

I think we (Airic and Canoncan.. and hopfully Chiller) are going to see this bird, and 119 others this Sunday, at the home of Skyhunters International. Hoping for some light to join us too!!

thanks for looking!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my USA Friends!

Hahah, that title comes across waaaay wrong....so what goes best with bald eagle for thanksgiving? Sage or onion stuffing? LOL

If you should ever have to meet the requirements of the adjective "proud" in a photo, this would be the one!! Great definition in the eye and feathers and a LOVELY background! (Would I not say so?

)

Beautiful shot of a very majestic bird. Very nice indeed.

lol Airic! Hope it works out for this weekend, and I hope Chiller comes!

Terri.. Dave's wife ( sorry, I don't remember her name) was holding this eagle up for a good view so everyone could see.. it was incredible. I hussled to find a good background and started shooting.. I took about 25 shots before she put it down. The misty day makes this shot, if you look closely, you can see the small mist drops. I just try to catch the bird when its still.. and take as many quality shots as I can!

here are some others from that same day..
