Looking very distinguished as eagles usually do and it's that soulful look on his face that really catches my eye. Beautiful tones and detail, too, Debra.

Thanks a lot Heather, I am always glad when a spot an Eagle like this.

Nice shot Debra. I like the colour patern done by the sunlight reflecting on some feathers. Like the calm state of the big guy. It doesn't look he will go after the osprey to protect his territory.

Debra Plett

Thanks very much Yves. As it turned out the eagle just watched the activity going on and left the Osprey alone.

Jane LeBlanc

Lovely, Debra. It looks so regal and snooty!!

Debra Plett

That is exactly what I thought too Jane. Thanks for the comments.
