Eagles and Magpies "meat" for breakfast

Shot this morning, very gray out. These aren't the furthest away I've attempted, but not very close either :)
Canon SX50, some burst mode, some not. All fiddled with, including cropping and slight poster edges and/or slight HDR-ish.

Not so regal when scavanging...
Hadn't noticed that one of these wasn't quite full adult coloring 'til I saw the tail; I just thought its head was dirty :) You can see a bit of white on its back (in #2 it's on your left).

Great work Linda, your so lucky having Eagles closeby. I checked my region and the closest nesting area's are 75 miles away. Last time I was there (with a photography club) the park rangers wouldn't allow any of us within 1/4 mile of them. Anyway...I always enjoy your critter shots, your sure good at it.

I agree with James. You take full advantage of a wonderful opportunity with great wildlife pictures. You've also turned a lot of people onto the capabilities of the SX50 when in the hands of a skilled photographer like you.

Your shots keep getting better and better. :thumbup:
Many people do not realize that bald eagles are natural scavengers. 8-)

The magpies look to be in better shape than the eagle - and strangely enough, more handsome.

Very nice! I like them.

I love'em Linda. Your magpies are so different to ours. Aussie maggies are about the size of a crow, but a tad plumper. Ours look pretty much like an overweight piebald crow. :thumbup:
