Eagle theme continued
Here's another classic pose. I took this while on a river cruise out of Wabasha, MN, during the Spring Eagle event. Trying to photograph with a 500mm hand-held, on a boat, was a challenge. Under these circumstances image stabilization is really great.

20D, 500 f4L, f5.6, 1/800, ISO100, HH, slight crop

The bird is very clean! Good detail in the feathers.

Beautiful shot.Good detail amd great light. Not sure why they like the cottonwod trees so much. Would like to get them on something else with less limbs, it is probably that they are there and handy.
