As you all may have gathered by Ken and Tim's fine posts, I had the pleasure of meeting and spending the day with Ken, Bonnie and Tim on the Yaks in search of Baldy's for Ken. It couldn't have played out better if I wrote the script myself!! What was supposed to be a gray cloudy and showery day developed into a sunny beautiful fall morning and we were smilin To top it all off, within 10 minutes of hittin the water, an adult BE flew in and perched in some gorgeous light with a classic fall BG. A few of what we saw today:
That take off shot is over the top!!!! Wow The other eagles are serious sweet shots GBH stands out nicely from the background, what the duck? Hard to tell what it is The last shot, well that takes the cake
Edit--I'm back looking at these again, man Tom that first shot is blowing me away. Fantastic!!! ---/Edit Oh and nice shot of Ken, he looks pretty good in that light.
Hey Tom... Zm and Tim's images were fantastic and it sounds like you guys just had a perfect day...
BUT... you're #1 is one of the coolest and very best BE images I have ever seen! Gorgeous light (thanks to Ken ), perfect exposure showing all of that clean and very natural looking detail, great launch action, and terrific comp. Magnificent Tom.
All the others are terrific too in this truly top notch collection... excellent work!
That 1st one is just plain awesome - where was I when that was taken?
The series justs gets better and better from there. It was indeed an awesome day and one I would gladly repeat with you kind folks any day.
Judging by the exposures I'm seeing from you an Tim it looks like I need to give up editing on the laptop. Mine look a littel bright in comparison....
All I can do is smile, wow!!! I am soooooooo impressed What a series, some of the finest BE shots I have seen and the others are posted here today!! You guys were certainly blessed with a wonderful opportunity and made the most of it, congrats!! These are truly awesome!

OMG! These are killers,Tom!
You got them right on and... good shooting with that big lens to get him coming off the tree.
Awesome--as always, Tom. Thanks for a superr special day!
Looks like you guys had a great day, Tom These are really great captures. I particularly like # 1 and 3. but all show beautiful lighting and setting.

Tom, these are outstanding eagle shots, especially the BIF. Pretty darn excellent pic of Zoomer as well! Sounds like you all had a great time. I hope to get up there next year.
