Hi Tom,

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....

Had a blast and thanks once again!

Ken

Hi Ken

Trust you are back down south safe and sound.
Besides the opportunity with the BE in that sweet light and setting, the best part of the day for me was turning towards Tims boat after the Eagle took off. The look on your face was worth a million bucks and change

Tim and I talked at lenght prior to your arrival about the best place for you to get a look at one of our Eagles. I was frettin it to say the least. The gift we got yesterday was beyond anything I could have hoped for you buddy. Great to meet you Ken and it's equally great for me to be able to put a face to the name of a photographer I have admired for so long.

Thank you for the glowing words on my work Ken, it means a great deal to me

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!

Top ten ways to spend a Saturday morning?
I'd say yesterday takes the top 3 spots

Wonderful day, wonderful friends to share it with Bonnie. Thanks for the heart warming words my friend. Till next time

The eagle is magnificent, and the oncoming view of him in the first shot is powerful.

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.

We had an over the top morning Linda

The NW gang was worried about producing an Eagle for Ken but after Tim tied it to the tr.......uh I mean after this badboy flew in and perched in front of us, we were all smiles

There may have been a touch of salivating too over on Tim's boat

Thanks so much for the fantastic compliments Linda, it's so nice to hear

I hope you will let me know when you plan to come our way next year

Gosh Tom, does it get any better buddy

I all in for these eagle shots, superb Fall coloring, wonderful warm light and of course sweetly sharp.

A great looking GBH and a nice quack IF. Good thing for the ID on the last image, I was trying to find that thing in my floral ID book and was struggling just a 'blech'

Yep, I am sooooooooo envious but couldn't wish better for a great group of FM'rs!

Karl

@ Karl
I'm still smiling my friend, helping Ken knock one off his list was a real treat for Bonnie, Tim and myself

The way it all unfolded just adds

Thank you for the heartfelt comments Karl, means everything coming from you.
