I am glad everyone enjoyed my triptych, "Bird of Prey". I wanted to show the regular sized versions of each as requested. Until the next challenge....

| Thanks for posting the regular sized versions, I've been meaning to ask you to that. I'm even more impressed with the world class quality of these photos. Excellent work! |

Cutter - i thought the images were just perfect but i am curious to know what the situation was. If this a captive bird or in the wild. Was he taking a bath or hunting.
Very national Geographics - hey maybe you should submit them! |

Cutter- I am in awe of these photos. Not only are the images magnificient, I am a bit jealous of the opportunity to see this bird that close. (am assuming it was in the wild). I live in upstate NY and the past 2 summers there have been reported sightings of a pair of Eagles in this area. (Extremely Extremely uncommon for this area). I spent unmeasurable hours searching for the Eagles to no avail. Unfortunately there also have been 2 separate reports of the Eagles demise, (one hit by a car and one killed on the powerlines). I can only hope that they multiplied while here...
So anyways, thanks for sharing such magnificient shots!!
What lens did you use/how close were you? |

According to the photographer's notes on the triptych, cutter spent an hour observing this bird fishing in "his pond". I deduce that the bird is in the wild, although I suppose it's possible the Denver zoo has a pond that the eagles catch their meals from, in the enclosure. I think it unlikely, though.
My appreciation of these shots has increased by leaps and bounds since I realized that they are probably shot in the wild.
