A great catch !
Michael Jakesz  Thank you!
Nice shot! I can't believe that the Nikkor 18-200 could give results like this! Well done!

How far this eagle was from you?

Ciao

Michael Jakesz  I can't quite remember, but as this lens only reaches 200mm it couldn't have been that far. What I do remember is that I was extremely lucky that day. Nothing birdlike since then even came close.
Thanks again!

The eagle is impressive!
The framing is great and the leaning of the trees in the background really adds to the action.
We feel sorry for the poor creature that's about to be "clawed".
Michael Jakesz  Thank you, adrifil!

Greate shot! I really like the action in it and love the rugged look on the eagle, not the usuall "perfect styled" feathers.

Michael Jakesz  Thank you, Thomas. I would love to take credit for the pose/feathers, but he/she did this all by himself ;-)
