This Long Crested Eagle sings me a cheery song on my birthday, later I got a cake:bg3:

Hi Ken, good looking speciman, and well timed to get the calling pose. I like the raised crest, and that the tongue is slightly visible. The angle is a bit high, but lots of character on the perch.
Great looking raptor Ken. Agree with Stu comments, nicely done.
Nice bird; indeed steep angle, but good that he didn't forget the special day. Hope next year he will greet you from a lower perch. Well done and Happy Birthday.
Great calling pose and wonderfully erected crest. I love those birds, one of my favorite during my last SA trip. Markus
Nice image and happy birthday, Ken.
hahahaha...love the loud mouth vocalizing, great looking bird Ken
Don't let him come to your party Ken, he'll be the guest from ****, it'll all end in tears I tell ya...dam party animal !!!...Happy belated Birthday.
Well done but for the steep angle. Happy bird-day.
Thanks everybody for your comments, I only wish that Raptors would perch a little lower now and again:w3

Very cool perch and screaming pose. Steep angle, yes. Happy Birthday Ken!!
