Thank you. I am surpised it was in reasonable focus. I have found it is very difficult to keep a camera steady hand held with a zoom lens...

Great shots. Thanks for posting!

This eagle looks a bit 'worn'. Does anyone know if those feathers are normal?

I believe it is a young Golden Eagle. The winters are long and very cold. I am sure it is hard on them...
