I'm sitting in the Orlando Airport getting caught up on a lost week. The last 7 or so days were spent co-leading Jim Neiger's flight photography workshop and spending a little time on James Shadle's boat. I've never done bird photography east of the Mississippi, so I was really looking forward to heading east. I really enjoyed myself! Good people and great photography! Here's a Bald Eagle photographed at Viera Wetlands. I never got the chance to visit Homer, but this one's for Jean.

Good to see you back online, Doug. Love the diagonals of the wings in downstroke and the eye contact. Might clone out the bit of bark dropping off the perch.
Missed you Doug especially your kind comments. This image is no different than the one's in the past that you've posted, stunning image quality with fantastic detail and always great, safe home Doug and will talk soon.
A very nice shot,sharp,good wing postion,pleasing BG,I can understand why you left the loose piece of bark in righthand bottom corner,but if I had took this shot,I think I would have cloned it out.Great shot.thanks.
