I had read that the Golden Eagles live all around the world in the Northern Hemisphere. All across Northern Asia and Europe and the US and Canada. There aren't many in the Eastern US though.

I've used a Canon EF 100-400mm F/4.5-5.6L IS USM at 400mm.

That's correct.

In Danish the golden eagle is called The King Eagle, though it's a bit smaller than The White-tailed Eagle. It's because of it's smoother and more elegant way to fly.

Hi Peter, this is a wonderful image. I liked it so much that, as you have Image Editing OK on your profile, I had a little play to try and enhance the feathers and eyes. Hope you like

Thank you.

I think the whole picture becomes too light on my calibrated screen, but I like the eyes very much.

Yes I agree with you, it looked better when I had it in Photoshop! Not to worry, it was the eyes I wanted to bring out. I selected them in a duplicate layer and lightened the levels.

Fantastic capture.
