Bald Eagles

I finally got close to an Eagle yesterday evening. I startled it while looking for shorebirds. It must have had a meal on the shore somewhere as it circled me a few times (the in flight pics), then when I cut through the woods it landed nearby still yaking at me. So I edged up to a tree, leaned out and got the perched shot, adjusted EC due to the Sunlight and it was gone. Its my best Eagle capture so far, so I'm happy.

#1 My fav. the perched shot, still yaking at me.

I would say those were warning Chirps and the aggitation was shown by the circling is common for warning behavior. Often the mate would also join in the circling behavior.

Great Action Series Trevor

Well Done!!!

That's a pretty good job Trevor you have done on eagles in the wild, obviously no baiting, no hides/blinds.
(If you go to some other specialized bird forums, you will see some super shots of baldies, however, many of them were done in Homer, Alaska....in my view, those eagles are as wild as my stunt ducks in Mississauga.In fact, I think my ducks are significantly more difficult to shoot in flight than those eagles )

Excellent series of these proud raptors.

Nice series Trevor. #1 is my favorite. I very seldom saw them here with their mouths open, unless there was a fish in it.

I almost said I wish winter would come back and bring the eagles, but then I woke up.

Beautiful...and they don't look happy wtih you!

Way to go Trevor. Nice clean and crisp shots.

Nice capture, good thing the shore birds were not around

Sweet shots

That first one really pops! Love the background color

Thanks Everyone for the kind words! The first shot was actually my last of the Eagles that night. Only pp done was to crop and resize, and I cloned out a few distracting branches on the right. I think I'll revisit that area, might get lucky again.

Nice series Trevor

Thanks Ted!

Great shots Treavor. The series is very well presented.

Be a little careful Trevor you are probably inside their comfort zone

These are rather nice i really like No1 and 2 just got that bit of diffrence to them and love the framing in No1 as he scream's out to the world .

Congrats on getting the shotts! #1 is my fav too!
