Splish, Splash he was.....

...taking a bath! This young eagle spent about 10 minutes splashing around and enjoying himself. By the look of him at the end, he had fun.

Oh my word Ian, those are funny, especially the last two! The foot in the air is priceless!

Wow! What shutter speed did you use when you were taking these?

There were taken at 1/2000 sec. I wanted them nice and crispy.

Ok the last two cracked me up, Great job Ian

I looked at the last two and thought "Godzilla with wings" Good job, Ian!

What an entertaining series. He looks like he was having a great time! Another wonderful set!

He sure did enjoy it Carol. He was still wary though. Every time he stopped splashing for a few seconds, he would stick his head up and have a quick look all around.

What an awesome series!

I also love the one with his leg in the air. Looks like he's ready to do the crane kick from Karate Kid.

Great series Ian! I agree with everyone on the last 2, they are hilarious

Thanks Bret, he was definitely feelin' good! And yes, I'm lucky to have such an abundance of willing subjects.

Great stuff as always Ian, love the low angle. That looks like a lot of fun.

Thanks Steve. I wasn't belly down in the mud like some people I know would have been, but I wasn't far above water level
