    I agree with Bruce, Eric. Your timing for these was impeccable. I really like the perspective of the first shot. You don't often see that angle for an Eagle shot. I'm not sure why, but Eagles always look so unreal to me. Almost like they are wearing a costume.

    I can walk up and touch the tree the nest is in, however I stay back 50 feet as not to freak them out!
