That 2nd photograph is postcard worthy.

beautiful pics.

great job!

Great pics. Practically neighbors of mine, just a few miles north or downstream. Eagles winter here every year now. It's not unusual to see twenty or more all perched in one big tree or have half a dozen of them hovering above my house round about mid day. i wonder if Max's friend has suffered any loss of rabbits? Fortunately they don't appear to have any interest in my cat though I have been weary when watching the larger golden eagles who sometimes do seem a bit more aggressive. And the cats are oblivious for the most part.

As powerful as that bird may be, it's certainly not the scariest thing in the sky these days. Click my name for the link

Grr....the link worked in preview....

Using "Preview" loses the link after you post.

Ginger is young and feisty, a wonderful journalist, and a fine photographer -- who will never be old.

ARK. BLOG: Yes, that was awkward wording on my part. I meant colleague of long standing, of course.

The photographer knew her terrain well and likely has the patience of Job to capture a shot like that.
Just very, very good. Living in the digital age has benefits, even though I hate to buy that friggin digital tv, when you can send such quality photos over the phone/cable lines.

Is that an icy coating I see on the background trees?

Those pictures are amazing.

Those birds are magnificent. I'd love to have one of those on my wall. The picture, no the bird.

That is, not the bird.

Anon-
I read that as internal debate over whether you would rather have the picture or the bird on your wall. You only live once, go all out. Go for the bird.

Devil, I agree, lets have a little fun and place the bird on the wall..you have my vote Anon...
Be silly people...
I'm going to watch for birds more carefully now and start making room on my wall...

Kidding folks...I have only former head coaches on my wall for now...

Besides, I went to the zoo some time back and saw the eagle up close...have any of you? Bird scares the hell out of me...
Don't mess with the Eagle...fine pictures..just dandy.

Just magnificent- thanks for the break from fussing about various other (though important) matters. One of my most indelible wildlife moments was standing on the edge of a bluff near Golden, Missouri just a few miles from my Eureka home, and looking a bald eagle in the eye -even closer than the one in the LR zoo- he was riding the updraft, and hanging motionless just a few feet away- goosebumps, even now.

And to think Ben Franklin wanted the wild turkey as the symbol of our country.
