Sad indeed Walt. It was a good thing you were there. In case they had survived you could have helped them.

What a terribly sad story, Walter. Great catch as photos go, but I am sure you would rather not get it.

Oh. This was gut wrenching to read about, Walter. You know? Really! Man means well but they mess everything up. These beautiful, wild, wonderful birds need to be left alone. YET if we dont count them how can we know how many there are left? And how do we stop others from making hem extinct? Micro chips? I HATE IT! Catch 22. I agree. If the bands are hurting them then lets stop the bands. SIMPLE! Where do I sign and what is the real alternative? So very sad to read of this and what an amazing capture you got from so far above the earth! Bravo for this and the new awareness we now have! -Laura I MEAN IT. WHERE DO I SIGN?

What a sad story Walter! I can imagine how hard that was to see that, and feel so helpless! It is a very unique capture, that is for sure, but I almost wish, you wouldn't have that capture, because their free fall never happened.

Wow Walter, one of my most favorite things of all is watching eagles do the flips, and twirls and high elevations. I couldn't even imagine seeing this. I know you are like me and no matter how many times you watch them your heart still beats faster when you watch them. I hate the story, but the image is a worthy photo journalism capture. I hate when they die because of us. My brother-in-law is a Conservation Agent here in Missouri, and still has an open case from 3 years ago where two were shot and killed. As sad as this capture is, it certainly has the impact that can draw public awareness to the issue of banding.

OMGosh what a terrible ending. I never thought about this happening because of the bans. Fantastic story telling image, Walter but such a sad outcome.

Don't be sorry. Public awareness is important, Walter. You should print out this thread to show them. WE CARE!
