Great timing Cheryl. Perfect light and great detail. I would love to just see one of these this close much less photograph one.

Very cool, Cheryl. A wonderful shot of the Eagle. One could wish the post had another 20 years of weathering, but you can't do much about that. I think you made the right choice leaving it in.

Great action shot, Cheryl! I really like the splayed tail, the powerful talons and the feathers detail too.
