Upset eagle
Not shure why but there were several eagles in dispute over this perch, there were four different changes of possession in 20-25 min that I watched. One change came just after this shot. I was shooting with a friends Celestron spotting scope, and it was pretty overcast when shooting the scope tends to give soft images. I was about 75 yards from the eagle. Ihad been shooting video from 1/4 mile away. So I did a little work on this , added a multiply layer, and took a couple small branches from the front of the eagles chest.

They normally look angry anyway because of the deep set eyes, but this one has the look of one very angry bird, for sure!

I like the bokeh that the spotting scope provided to the background of your nice capture...
