Really like eagle pic #1. Would be interested in knowing what species of eagle this is.

A great set, Stu. I find no 2 especially nice with him on that snowy branch. The second to last is a very pretty bird. What species is it? Good work all around.

very nice series

Thanks for all the comments. The black and white eagle is a Stellers Sea Eagle, the brown one (#5) is a White Tailed Eagle. Both species are closely related to the Bald Eagle.

Awesome series. The owl shot is priceless.

Yes, while all are excellant, the owl caught my attention, too.

The Steller's Sea Eagles just fascinate me; they are so huge. Keep the shots coming; they're great.

Great shots. Where in Japan did you photograph the eagles? I have been lucky enough to visit Kobe, Kumamoto and Tokyo when my son worked there. Beautiful country and do I miss the great food.
Kept looking for eagles but not lucky enough to see any.

Love these flight shots, and the owl is adorable.

Very nice! Love the owl shot in particular.

Great series, fantastic flight shots and the owl in the tree is very cool.

They were in a small town called Yakumo which is located in the south of Hokkaido, the northernmost island.......

Excellent series of shots...well done!

I'm just amazed by those Steller's every time I see one, which oddly enough seems to be every time you post a thread Stu - And I'm very proud of myself for remembering that one and the white-tailed!
The owl image is just too cute, but I'm w/Levina....who is that little fella in the next to last image. Looks like a chickadee/tit or something else very close.
