The wings look impressive - great shot.

What a fine focus both by you in this shot and also by the eagle on you!

Nice job, Michael! You can always tell when they're about to take off. They almost always squat and then leap.

This is terriifffiiccc, Michael! Great job and good choice of
ISO/Shutter speed. Very nice head and upper body detail. A great
action shot. These are not easy to do, especially when the bird is
headed for the camera.
BTW, I am still waiting for the Meadowlark shot!
