Thanks Jeff.

Great composition and action shot Yves. I tend to notice lines and this image my eye is drawn to the V-shape of the wings intersecting over the V-shape of the tree branch. Very appealing Yves.

It's a treat to see the back view of an eagle and I must say the tail feathers are impressive. Very nice action shot Yves and great timing too.

An unusual shot is my bread and butter. Always a delight. Yes, we rarely see the tail that long. The bird lokks a bit weird but it demonstrate its flexibility.

This is a most interesting shot depicting the detail in the feathers so well.

Description
Big bald eagle just grabbed the tree. Unusual pose showing that certain moves of the bird ruffle its feathers a lot. This shot was taken in burst mode (which for my camera is 1/500 - f8) . Sharpness is not as good but at least it gives fair shots. Following the action in usual single mode shooting (1/1500 - f8) would have probabily result in no good shots at all.
