Bald Eagle closeups

Some of the close-up's from an outing today at The Raptor House. A local rehab center. Got lucky because they were doing a private tour and education lecture and had all the birds out.
Doing handstands
Eye on the sky!
Looking back at me!
In deep thought!
Make a joyful noise!
Ready to pounce.
Say a little prayer!
Stern stare!

It doesn't matter that these were taken at a rehab facility, These are very good photos!

You captured the essence of just what this raptor represents to most Americans and specifically this retired veteran . Thank you so very much for sharing....Cliff

This male was released twice and had to be recaptured because it wouldn't hunt on its own. Now it is a very good training example as to why you don't want to over handle wild animals. Glad ya enjoyed them.

How close were you for the first shot? What lens did you use? Ray.

I was using a 300MM F4 L IS lens on a Canon 7D. And I was real close too!

These are amazing! I just told someone about UHH while chatting on an eagle cam site and they saw these and loved them.

This is a wild juvenile bald eagle I took yesterday. There was a fence in front of me or I could have gotten closer. I don't want to stress the adults though or they won't return next year!
