Another eagle shot from Feb
Here is another shot from Feb it is the same eagle, just a different angle. He was backlit with bright overcast. The time to catch them here is in the morning and you almost always have to shoot to the East. I know it is Spring and I do have some flowers on the card will get to them soon. Image is not croped, I just bumped the contrast a bit. 600mm 6.3 1/320 ISO 100

I like it too, Kendall, but would clone out the intruding twig on the right, if possible.

The eagle's face is is much sharper in this image, compared to your earlier post. Nicely done, Kendall. Ideally, I would prefer a darker background, but we take what we can get. You might consider a vertical crop, with the eagle taking up most of the frame. That would eliminate a lot of the open white sky.
