Lovely capture, great pose! Looks like he's got a talon stuck in the perch
Well caught!

Yup, these birds are definitely posing and taking directions from you. Can get one of the birds to show the underlying tensions between, on one hand being a majestic, free-flying creature of the wild and on the other hand the basic desire to be a famous poster pin-up? Perhaps with a touch of Marlon Brando.

Anyway, as usual absolutely terrific and keep them coming.

Another great shot. I too think it's a trained eagle.
