As impressive as the photo is, it is even more impressive that the person with the glove is not flinching.....

yes, nice pic.. I had a European Eagle Owl on my fist like this.. When it started batting me round the head with its wing I definitely flinched!

Nice pairing, Northstar

V nice. Where is this that eagles sit on chimneys?

My friend posed for me a few minutes ago.

These bald eagles were photographed in Minnesota. 20 years ago I’d be lucky to see a few bald eagles per year, now they’ve recovered to a level where I’ll see a few each week.... nice to see!

Thanks. It is a good story except for some of the creatures that get eaten.

Ironically named, perhaps -- this one looks very serious, even contemplative.

I did look in all the books beforehand not a single "P*ssed-off"- , nor "Pensive"- not "Contemplative"-Kookaburra to be found! :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

Good close-up Brian.
I recall seeing one of these being flown at a bird-of-prey centre - you could not argue with the demonstrator's logic for including it but what surprised me was how quick and agile they are and can hunt on the wing. He also said he found them a dream to demonstrate because unlike raptors they can fly after eating copious amounts.
