A truly beautiful bird

[Fred]

skip, that rock looks like the gaping mouth of a hippopotomus.

[Musicman]

Alaskan... I like the small Eagle 2 shot the best 

Skip... what is up with that rock? It's not natural... is this near a river or something? 
Maybe it's like an Oreo Cookie, two granite slabs and a sandstone center. 

[twodko]

It's the Mick Jäger rock.

eagle looks HUGE, never seen one up close, are they really that big or is it just the zoom (i'm comparing the size of the pine cones in the tree around it)

[skip68]

Those rocks are real and by the American river in Coloma CA.

Their around 3 feet tall with a wing span of 6-8 feet, so yes there big.

+ Alaskan has a good zoom.  How close are you from them Alaskan?

I was wondering the same thing. He has to be a lot closer to one than I ever have been.

[Alaskan_TA]

Eagle #1 was far away, 1/8th to a 1/4 mile. Eagle #2 was closer, maybe 50-80 feet depending on where I was. I had to move around some to avoid branches from blocking his head.

I use the same camera for my moon photos.

Pretty! Where is that?

This is Herman, he lived next to my folks for several years.

[rebby]

Pretty! Where is that?

Whoops, forgot the location. Badlands National Park in South Dakota. One of my all time favorite places.

ETA: There is a bird out there too (at the car museum in Murdo)...

[Alaskan_TA]

Blue Heron.
