Woah! Awesome!! How did you get so close? How far away were you?

anything from 2 meters to about 15 meters, for some I was in a bird watchers hide and the others I was just sat on a bench during a bird of prey display

Good stuff, was this at the Hawk Conservancy by any chance? I got one of my best shots ever there of a Bald Eagle.

indeed they were, or as I like to call it "my second home" not sure if you've been this year but if you haven't they now have a new flying demo where they fly Owls and a few Hawks through a newly cleared wooded area.

Please comment

Whoa! 4 and 6 look totally rad! Especially 6 - he's really expressing his eagleness!

I like #16 allot too but it's not "rad" specifically.
