Perfect for this WC Jerry, that's a whole lotta green :smile:
Great detail in the bird for being set back this far, looks like it's getting ready to lit out :toast:

Definitely lots of green here, Jerry. That white head sure grabs the eyeballs in the midst of all the green.

Nice shot and clarity from a long way off Jerry. Not sure if you have enough pixels, I might suggest taking a bit off of the top right to place the eagle in the upper right corner for balance based on the rule of thirds?

Always love seeing these eagles in any setting, and all the green really shows him off well. Thanks for sharing this nice shot!
