He was probably admiring you hair color and thinking how much it matches his magnificent colors. I think the bird has his eye on you Owd Momma. You better watch where you roost. Just a great photo and I like how he seems to be watching behind him. Stunning capture.
The look in the eye is great, perfect focus and DOF. It almost looks like a Tawny Eagle, But in the UK, they might be named something else. Well done Pat.
Great capture Pat,
not often we see raptor bird shots with a different mood in the eye. This one definitely has a touch of sorrow or loss or something similar.
Boy Pat, he is really beautiful. Love this, it has great colour and the detail of all his feathers, wow. I bet he's thinking if I could only get away from here. Thanks so much for sharing.
Superb capture of his expression Pat - he certainly does have a wistful look in his eye - I couldn't help but feel sad for all the birds I saw at our local Bird Of Prey Centre ...living in confined spaces and tethered to their perches, but I was glad to watch an exhibition of flying and they all seemed happy enough to come back to the trainer.
