"First Flight" In Memory Of Dick Wyatt

Uploaded: May 11, 2011

Description

Maria Gonzalaz called me today that Dick had passed. So Very Sad the rest of the day. He was a Great BP`er and a Stunning Photographer. A great big teddy bear of a guy that I shot Eagles with several times. Funny and Elegant,that was Dick.You couldn`t help but like and laugh with him.He wanted to see the young ones fly,so I dedicate this series to him. This is the first flight of the largest Eaglet as it takes off for the first time.We will all miss Dick Bigtime.

A wonderful dedication to Dick, Hal! I am sorry I am so late commenting, but I was in hospital recovering from heart failure about that time.
This is another wonderful image from the eagles life! #9543157
