Wonderful series, Doug. I've changed my mind a few times, but will go with #s 6 and 7 as my faves for now. This could change

Super series Doug. I wish I could capture some shots like these someday. Very hard to pick favorites since all are great. For me #7 and 4 are rare captures and superb pose. Thanks for sharing.

Wow Doug, some of the nices eagle shots I've seen. I think your plan with the backgrounds really paid off. These are all fantastic and the BG really makes the bird pop. Nicely done.

Great shots, Doug. Good to see it is colder there, than here.

Always nice when you can shoot eagles at eye-level or lower.

Doug, these are magnificent. If I was forced to pick a favorite, #10 would be it.
You and Tony have brought the best of these birds to the forum.

Wow, Doug. Every one of these is stunning. Wonderful detail and poses. I like them all, but am drawn to #8, with the warm tones and neat BG. Fantastic shooting.

Wonderful set of images Doug. I knew we would be blessed with these soon

How close to these birds are you?

Tom T

Thank you for the very kind words Tom. I'm horrible at guessing distances, but sometimes 50 to 60 yards? And sometimes, the fly bys were a lot closer.
