We have a bunch of eagles here and a lot of them are young. That should be a good sign for their future. I have been shooting some but have not caught any great shots yet. This one is the best yet but I will keep working on it.

Nice shot, Kendall. I like the inclusion of some habitat in the frame.

Very nice catch! I really like the winter scene and the pose of this fine looking bird. The feather detail and DOF are spot on. Well seen and captured!

I have no idea why I hit the reply button, because I had a question and an additional comment in mind. Hmm. The question is, are these eagles gathered here all winter in these numbers? Is it because of the ice-free dam and available food supply? I also wanted to suggest a slight crop from the top of the OOF snowy branches, to really shine the light on this gorgeously captured bird.

I agree with Brian regarding a crop from the top, like maybe about half an inch down? Very nice details in the feathers, Kendall.

Beautiful detail of this youngster, Kendall. I concur with the earlier crop suggestions.
