I used a slow shutter speed to show wing movement, the heads are sharp, but it gets thrown in the trash and then brought back out. I guess because you rarely see two eagles flying together in harmony and grace in there kingdom.

2loose Goldmember  More info | Jul 27, 2013 12:36 | #4 Very nice shot Mike, I honestly like the BG, because it shows the contrast between the wildlife and city life, something that is unusual. I've seen some pics of orcas swimming thru Vancouver harbor, that for me is very interesting sight. Also, when I used to live in NY, I saw this famous red tail hawk flying around the skyscrapers.

Thank you very much 2loose. Around here the lock & dam system on the Mississippi River are where you find the Eagles, we have some local ones here, but the numbers triple when they come down from the north to winter here. So there usually ends up being some man made object getting in the photos.

WallaceRiver " ...a bit of a pervy voyeur "  More info | I think it's a keeper, Mike. I am constantly looking for ways of getting multiple eagles in my shots, and would love to have this one in my collection! IAN - Living life on the shores of the Wallace River in northern Nova Scotia, Canada :

Thank you Ian, all the other tolerable ones I have with two is fighting or chasing aggressively, this is the only calm one I can recall in many years. You have been there, you know what I mean.
