sarahaw1981-Thank you so much! The lighting (sunset) was poor but this pair seemed to care less that I was taking their pictures while on the ground, which was pretty cool. We have about 3-4 feet of snow cover on the ground and the lakes are still frozen over so I'm sure they're having a hard time finding food this winter.

Ava T-B Thank you. I wish they'd been closer or that the lighting had been better but I thought they showed the wing movements nicely. I'm hoping to get better images now that I've found three pair of Eagles within 10 miles of home. :-)

Fabulous series of photos!

Nice series.
