I had to read your post twice, Rona and then I burst out laughing when you said you almost had an accident when you spotted one driving. I thought you meant you spotted the eagle driving! LOL! Anyway, this is a beautiful shot, my friend!! #1449252

I love Eagles. They are so important. I'm glad to hear you have lots of them! :) What a wonderful capture of one in the nest! So very beautiful! Even the NEST is a masterpiece!

Nice to be in your gallery, Rona!

What a beautiful capture Rona, this one quite wary of intruders. I know how it feels to be excited when one sees a photo opp. Also, almost had an accident once while driving the highway and spotting a spectacular cloud formation. Be safe and take care. #10038461

Fantastic capture, Rona. This guy is offering such an excellent pose. Terrific catch. #10039376

Thanks for the visit, folks! Sorry I was so confusing - this was taken about 3 hours south of me at a very large wildlife wetlands area (where I shot all the cranes). The eagle that almost caused me to have an accident was one I saw at home while driving on the bypass, LoL! #10040067
