Walking the Branch

Louisiana

This is one of a pair of eagles that are still raising a young eaglet in the nest. I watched the parents for two hours yesterday as they sat beneath the nest trying to coax the young one to fly--to no avail.

What a great capture. Not only perfect detail but fascinating behavior of the parent teaching the fledgling. V.

You would think the majestic eagle would have more power over it's young... :-)

A nice shot of it looking down Coleen, presumably at the young one.

Coleen there is an Australian movie coming out called " Healing " watch for it as I'm sure you will love it. The camera work is marvellous...
The basic story line is

At the tail end of a 16-year sentence, an inmate is sent to a low-security, pre-release prison with a special program that pairs men with injured game birds.

I love this photo which has reminded me to tell you

Great shot, not a typical position for most eagle photos I've seen. It must be fascinating to watch. V
