Magnificent, Jerry...a great shot for Washington's Birthday. I can't help wondering where you are to be able to photograph so many magnificent raptors! #1354900

Thank you all!

We had 254 pairs of eagles living around lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho which is northern Idaho this last December. They all were down from Alaska and Canada. I happen to be lucky and live there part time as well as Vegas. In Vegas there is a place called Springs Reserve with all kinds of Raptors.

Thanks All -
