A series of Bald Eagle Portraits

[birdbonkers84]

Visited the Local Falconry Centre today (about 1.25 hours drive from where I stay). Never been before, but it was such a great experience to see so many birds of prey up close. Took a heap of photos, failed miserably at trying to get BIFs of the a Harris Hawk, Peregrine Falcon and a Barn Owl..., but I got some portrait shots of the Bald Eagle.

1. Only the first one I've looked at.

I so wanted to go up to it and remove that feathery tuft from its beak when taking some of these!

That's a nice shot of a bald eagle. I don't know the score with posting your own photos into other peoples threads, but I would read up on it just to make sure
