Photos taken at the Birds of Prey exhibition in Colorado. The white is blown out in the photos but I thought viewing this magnificent bird up close would be interesting to you.

Certainly looks like a no nonsense serious bird Bob.---charliezap

Sure does Charlie, a pleasure to see in person though.

You've done the right thing and got good focus on the eyes. Might need to drop your exposure back a fraction to stop the whites from blowing out but all in all, great detail great shots.

Majestic , iconic bird Bob love the first one.

Who can't love a baldy? Always love to look at these guys. Thanks for sharing them Bob.

I love these!! Bob, thank you for sharing them. He is beautiful!

It is a dream of mine to see a bald eagle in the wild some day. I am losing hope as each year passes. I guess they just don't hang out around here much. Anyway, I adore seeing photos of them!!

Lori, I thought there were quite a few eagles near the waterways by Williamsburg/Jamestown areas. We were there a couple of times and saw them in flight, but never any photos of them. It also seems I saw a couple of threads on Virginia birds on the forum.

Bob these are wonderful! What an amazing creature. Thanks so much for sharing. The second with the extended wings is extraordinary! I have missed many of your posts lately... I've been way too busy! Glad I was able to view this one!!

Yeah, I'm sure they are around in parts of VA. I live in central VA and not near any major waterways. I was told they frequent a river I recently went to on a day visit, but I guess they knew I was coming and bugged out! LOL! No luck so far.

Lori, you know what is going to happen. You will all of a sudden be traveling and see a large group of eagles and of course didn't bring a long lens with you and you are taking photos with a 21mm or something. That's my story anyway, take care. Bob
