Eagle by the road

[Oscar Zangroniz]

In southwest Broward County there is a pair of eagles with a nest not more that 50 feet from the road. Don't know if this is the male or female but it had just finished feeding the young before it decided to perch near the nest. This event was published in the local papers and it has become an attraction.

Nikon D300, Nikon 200-400mm w/1.4tc, F5.6, 1/1600, ISO 640, Exposure comp -1/3, Aperture priority.

Excellent capture Mr. O,
the sharp feather details, prominent sharp eye, head angle and pose are superb...I like this very much, and the pine tree background compliments him quite well...a big congrats on a job well done...:cool:

OZ, very nice. Love the environment in this shot. We often see eagles in the open and not much habitat showing. Side of the road, how nice!

[Harold Davis]

Agree with the other comments. Love the eye - very intense, tack sharp.
