Description

I'm fortunate to live near quite a few eagles, but it's NOT easy to catch a good shot of them. This one I got a few images in a row of him landing on a post. I hope you enjoy this one... Thank you all so much for your supportive words on my last image, "in memory of Sophia" it's really been hard not having her around!

This is excellent, Akemi. It's not often you get a shot with all flaps and landing gear down. Well done.

Yikes, I wouldn't want those talons grasping me! This guy looks like he means serious business and you really did a great job of capturing him. How lucky you are to live where you have eagles, and the ocean.
