I can’t imagine getting that close to something so beautiful and so majestic. You seized that opportunity brilliantly; congratulations on a superb piece of artistry.
Mindy Dick
Thank you Bonnie…The feeling of getting so close to such a magnificent bird, was amazing…Storm is a very special Golden Eagle..He is very very large, his wing span is approx 10 feet across..Majestic only barely describes him…

Wonderful, what camera and lens were you shooting?
Mindy Dick replied
Hi Dick…I shot with a Canon 50D, and I was using my 75-300 on action mode…lucky shot…however “Storm” (the Golden Eagle’s name)
was a fantastic model …
Thanks so much

Superb image! What a gorgeous depiction of this birds personality!

Holy lots of comments Batman! Great photo though. I love Storm. I got to man her for the first time a few days ago! 0.0 Intimidating much? But she is such a lovely girl. And I think the ‘red-shouldered hawk’ you were talking about is a Harris Hawk. We don’t actually have any red-shouldereds. Which is unfortunate. That would be cool if we had some!

Impressive and magical, a real stunner !!!
Ellen
His eye is so sharp, Very beautiful photo!
