Beautiful Branch

Oh, and the Eagle liked it too.

Taken Saturday morning, this guy had just finished eating as there is blood on the branch he is perched on.

That is one fine looking branch Buzz.

Nice eagle shot, Buzz.

Your title sounds a lot like the misdirection my Dad perpetrated when he bought the house in Grand Forks I grew up in. He offered the owner of the house $49,500 for the guy's famous honey wheat bread recipe if he'd throw in the house.

The guy said yes. He also threw in the branches of a bunch of old elm trees. House, recipe, branches. Guess we'll call that a hat trick, eh?

Little different angle than the other one I saw, like this view better. Nice work.

nice shot! i like his facial expression. looks just like my wife when the UPS truck rolls up our driveway!

[Steve Foss]

Good one, MM. My wife wears the same look in the same situation.

One of the nice things about Buzz's image is that the head is richly detailed in a low-contrast environment. Hard to make a mature bald eagle's head stand out against pale gray sky.

Oh my gahd! I need to clean my sensor!! Look at the two circles on the top center of that picture!! arghhh, clone stamp tool would have been nice.

You guys are funny by the way!

Aren't you glad it was a cloudy gloomy day when you got this close to a great looking bird on a great perch???

God bless,
