Cool facial expression of the bald eagle. What did you tell him?
Really good.
thank you! it's not what I told him... he was doing all the talking and parading his catch in front of us! I think the sound of all those camera shutters going off in high speed mode made him extra proud

It is often easy to go for the spectacular and forget the close and tiny. Very nice capture.Maximilian said:although not very colorful and dynamic, I love the expression of this tired young sparrow after his first flying lesson (which I loved to capture but missed)

I was really glad, that it let me get really close to it, 2 m, almost the MFD of the 100-400L.
A few minutes later that little one fell asleep.

Thank you for your comments, Click and Skatol. Indeed this is at Conowingo, I was there with my wife on Sunday morning. It was our first time there and it was also our first time photographing eagles. I heard the action was better on Saturday. I had taken the 800mm f/5.6L on evaluation loan from CPS... amazing lens for perched birds.. a bit hard to maneuver it when the birds were close. I will try to return there with my "regular" gear in a couple of weeks.

Loving all the bird of prey shots! Wish we had hummingbirds in Australia they are amazing birds.
Anyway another Tawny Frogmouth, we are fortunate enough to frequently get these around the house pretending to be a fence posts.
