Bald Eagle on sign - 8219 by

Bald Eagle taking flight from a sign post. Taken in the Lower Klamath Wildlife refuge on the Oregon California border.

Anyone notice the second " guardian" of this closed area? You might say the Eagles backup. Actually there are three total.

    These eagle shots are so good that I spaced accepting each of them by a number of hours so each one would get the individual attention they deserved on Northern California Style. This is my favorite. That eagle’s pose is so good he looks like you photo-shopped him in. The fact that he is sitting on a sign that says Area Closed…just makes it that much better.
    Fantastic Photo work!!!
