Thank's Deborah G. Stephanie A. and Carol E. for the kind words.
I photographed the eagle while hiking through the Sitka National Park just last week (8-21-02). I was standing on a wooden bridge watching massive numbers
of salmon on their spawning run when this guy swooped down and landed on a tree branch about thirty yards out.
The photo was taken with my Nikon N80
and a Nikon 70-300D lens on Fuji 400 print film. the tripod (the rail of the wooden bridge). Steve Edwards #12655
