Got this majestic bird this morning. Shot from my deck.

Awesome, you caught a really dramatic moment, and I'm captivated by how unusual the environment seems to be for a Bald Eagle...I never associate them with high plains, though I guess they go where the bunnies are.

I live nestled in the mountains, not on the high plains.

This was taken almost at the top of a mountain. There's a lake below that they fish in.

I love the dynamism in that first shot - the curve on those wing feathers. And shot from your deck! (Don't rub it in

)

Great shots Carol. Especially the first one. Captured the moment beautifully.

Well done Carol. When can I come and sit on that awesome deck of yours?

**csa** · 06-15-2017, 06:51 AM

Tonytee; thank you! Most happy to share this majestic bird here.

PJ1:

Yes, the views from my deck are pretty boring!

Slowpez: Thanks, lots of room on the deck!

gaweidert: Thanks also! This moment definitely was one once in a lifetime. I heard the blackbird/crow screeching, & happened to look up the mountain & spotted the Eagle. I think he must have had a fish or something.

Terrific captures Carol!

**csa** · 06-16-2017, 09:50 AM

Steve, thanks; it certainly was a thrill to be able to photograph this bird!

Think we need to organise a Forum bus load... to visit CSA and her deck.

**csa** · 06-16-2017, 02:04 PM

Boy, that bus better have water wings for you to be on it!
