Sure is a handsome fellow. Glad to see they are in CT. Good idea for a field trip to see if I can find some.

Another Bald Eagle from Barkhamsted CT.

I like the second one even better! The lighting, the way its head is turned, the contrast between its white head and the tree trunk and of course the snow!

And again very cool to see it taken here in CT!

Love the ruffled feathers on his neck and the way his head is turned. May I suggest a closer crop to eliminate the bottom out of focus branch and maybe even the tree on the left. It would serve two purposes... clean up the surrounding clutter and bring the viewer in closer to the eagle.

Hi Scott! I much prefer the second shot here and agree with Patricia's crop suggestions. But I LOVE your eagle shot that you posted in Richard's post. Great job there!
