Fantastic looking picture great bird, it kind of puts my latest post to shame. Cheers mike

Thank you, Mike. Don't be too critical of your photos... I just took a look and commented. When I look at my photo here, I really wish I had used a much higher shutter speed... the bird just appeared when I wasn't at all ready, so the shot was totally rushed. A faster shutter speed might have helped you as well. We all just keep trying and learning! Have a great day.

Thank you very much for your reply it’s much appreciated cheers mike

This is incredible! I think you are really lucky to catch him with your camera!
I have a chance, a couple of years ago, to capture a young Bald Eagle, his tail was a bit shorter and not really white. These birds used to stay away from people.
Resteem!

Thank you very much, it is always a treat to see one of these magnificent birds!

Outstanding!! What a beautiful shot @keithboone!
Looks like eagle season is here :-)

Thank you! Yes, all the birds are getting quite active right now :)
