Great catch!! We have a couple near here, but haven't had them close enough for a good shot. Too old to go hiking for a good shot. Have to depend on chance. 10 from SW Iowa

Have you checked his passport...lol. I know he's not a Canadian, so he must be an American Bald Eagle...Congratulations on this shot.

Thanks for all of your comments - I enjoy hearing from you.

TIP: (Eagle enthusiasts) I recently drove the scenic route on the Illinois river from Alton, IL north and got close to some eagles there (even walked close to the trees they were perched in). We go to the popular sites and have a measure of success, but mid day drive close to a major river that gets very close to the shore, may yield better opportunities. Check around close to your area. We even have a couple of eagles that winter on a pond in Swope Park - a greenway in Kansas City.

About Cptkirk
Cptkirk My camera packing sons and I are Kansas transplants from the Rockies!(My special son Michael - handle "utjazzfan", and Shane (Mr. Lightning)- handle "idzrvit" carry our cameras everywhere we go and have been photographing the outdoors and wildlife for over 20 years. I have drawers full of photos, but have "come of age" with digital. I now shoot anything I want without fear of a wasted shot. The result is some terrific photos I may not have taken with my 35mm! Sharing our photos with our friends at "wunderground" is a real plus!
