My favourite eagle is back in town. It just so happens I had my camera bag with me and stopped for a couple of quick shots. Here is one. crop, usm, minor color correction, and a sprinkle of saturation.

Thanks guys. I was using a 200mm with a 1.7x tc. I was going to use the 300, but had just a bit more reach with the combined unit. Too bad the 1.7 doesn't work on the 300 or LOOK OUT... lol

Great shot.... now maybe strap a dead rabbit to your head and see if you can get him closer?

Beautiful picture Jerry. But I wonder why you said " is back in town".
A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.
