Wedge-tailed Eagle

Glad I found this image nestled away under an obscure folder name; thought I'd bring it to the top again.

Location: Healesville Sanctuary, Victoria

  18. Yesterday we saw a concert with Eagle Eye Cherry. Now you catched a real Eagle Eye. Great work !

  19. Yup! You should be able to lay hands on this shot! I love the mantle of feathers, and his arrogant pose!! Eagles are allowed to be arrogant! Maybe it is even in their job description...

  20. WOW!! Wonderful shot, Carole!
    I really do need to get out to Lone Pine Sanctuary. Apparently they have a raptor show. I think it's the only way I will capture a shot like this!

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
