    Gorgeous capture and shot…... love the way he has his feathers ruffled up and that droplet of water at the end of his beak!! :-)) The dof is wonderful…... such beautiful lighting!! It really frames him nicely!!!

  • Rick & Deb Larson replied

    Thanks so very much!! There was a few of them that landed within a couple feet of me so I was able to get lots of nice close ups…one can never have enough photos of Eagles, right?? :-)

    This photo captures the pure majesty of this awesome eagle so well! The bokeh and detail are simply stunning Deb & Rick!

  • Rick & Deb Larson replied

    Hi Renee, Thank You!! Thank You!! Thank You!! I was so excited when a few of the Eagles landed within two feet of me, I just kept clicking the shutter button (Rick thought that I was way too close with my 200mm lens and wondered if the photos would even come out). Thank you again. Take Care.

    Your Eagle photos are out of this world amazing! This one looks like he is having a bad hair day…LOL!

  • Rick & Deb Larson replied

    Hi Pamela, LOL, it was a cold and windy day so there were lots of blowing feathers (and freezing fingers). THANK YOU!! Take Care.

    I can not wait to see one of these in the wild.
    They are multiplying in NJ.

  • Rick & Deb Larson replied

    They transplanted some from up here in Alaska to the East Coast some years ago, it will be great if they are able to flourish and multiply. We are originally from N.H. and there’s a good chance that we will return there someday, and how great it would be to have Eagles soaring all over the East Coast. THANKS!! Take Care :-)
