It has been a while since I wandered through the Eco Museum and since today was rather balmy as compared to the last couple of weeks, away I went.
Path ways were very icy from all the freezing rain we have had in the past week but the residents were more than willing to pose.

Very nice job! (Note the dust bunny, though...)

That seems to be a bit closer than I remember getting him with the 400... Did you sneak over the fence?

Wow.

It almost looks real!

Hope you got away without any 'nibble marks.' You must have been close enough.

Thanks for all the kind words folks. To tell the truth Candace (wifey) has a hand in helping me et this shot. Tim (eagle) was not really doing anything, just sitting on his perch enjoying the sun. Candace went and stood off to one side and sort of whistled at him and he in turn sort of screeched back. Guess you might say that she was bait:):):):)
However when it came to "baiting" the wolf brothers, there was no way she would hop over the fence. Darn. Good assistants are really hard to find:):):):):):):):):)
