Very Nice !!

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

What a beauty. :thumbsup:

Are you sure it's getting ready to take off? When the ones over our way rock back like that, it's to do "something else" - and I have the shots to prove it. :whistle: Can you say "Potty Cam"?

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

Thank you so much Darrell! :)

Thank you John, yes, I'm sure- I watched him take off just a couple minutes after he did this. I also watched him doing "something else" too, but I don't have pics of THAT.:ohmy: lol ! :lol:

Sorry about that. Couldn't resist. I sat for hours one day trying to look for a "sign" that it was going to take off. When it rocked, I started shooting. Not what I had hoped for but I can post if your like :sick:
BTW - Through several years, I have never found a consistent sign that they were going to fly. They just "leave".

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

And when it hit the windshield of the car, it was not easy to remove. Imagine a 15-lb pigeon. Won't say any more, Shanna. I do love your eagle shots.
Here's a link to an "eagle cam" near Richmond. There are a couple of new eggs in the nest.
