New Raptor in Town

[Harryb]

Hi you'll,

While passing ben's favorite tree in the wetlands I noticed we had a new kid in town. Initially I thought he might be a golden eagle but on closer exam I would say he's a juvenile bald eagle. He was backlit but I managed to get a few passable shots.

Most excellent if you grill 'em with a little garlic powder. They kind of taste like chicken, Andy. :D

Purdy Burdy. Wow... when do I get some of these puppies in my backyard trees? Huh..huh.. Harry?

Nice shots. :thumb :thumb :thumb

I would say you are right on the id Mr H and the shot is very nice also but you know i have not seen Ben for a few days now and he took my chainsaw :scratch what do you think he was going to do --he hates work -oh well no worry :D

[bfjr]

all hail THE TREE

I mean if our man Harry didn't have THE TREE he'd have to get out of his car and carry that heavy 500mm all around looking for these beautiful shots.

And we would not want that now would we :D. I mean he might havt to quit shooting these beautiful images, and then he might end up having to shoot little OOF birds or worse beer belly fisherman (remember them :D)

So I say to you, ALL HAIL THE TREE

[jwear]

what do you mean to hail with that tree --that's not nice for gods sakes it's dead :cry

Thanks Jeff, glad you liked the shots. Not to worry about THE TREE no WCW (West Coast Wimp http://dgrin.com/images/smilies/yelrotflmao.gif ) could survive in our wetlands long enough to do any damage. A few minutes with the bugs, snakes, and gators will send him scurrying back to the left coast and his pineapple pizzas. http://dgrin.com/images/smilies/biggrinbounce2.gif

Hey Steve,

It is always a thrill to see an eagle even when I can't get a shot in.
