There's something about bald eagles that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Good shots. Is that a fish in #3? :thumbup:

Careful! Bald eagles like to tear apart and eat "warm and fuzzy"!

:lmao:

Terrific Kestrel, that's not a very commonly seen bird (at least around here). I've only seen one in the wild one time and didn't get anywhere near this nice a shot. In mine you could tell it was a kestrel and that's about it.

Nice shots, Eric!

Where were those taken. I went to Ding Darling last weekend, saw a few birds, but not alot.

Gorgeous images! I especially love the second bald eagle photo. The framing of the pines is exquisite. And the last image, of the eagles in their nest, is a wonderful contrast of man-made and natural.

amazing. I really want a tc. Would also really love to run into a bald eagle one of these days. There is a park about 2 hours from here that is supposed to have them in the wintertime. I might have to go back. All I got last time was turkey vultures.
