I too, feel like Jim has gotten the smelly end of the stick.. However, this action should serve notice to a lot of photographers who "push the window" on getting images of Bald Eagles.. I have seen numerous images of Bald Eagles that had to heve been taken fairly close, or greatly cropped.. Remember that 500 feet is almost two football fields distance...

I hope that Jim continues his workshops and comes out of this O.K..
