Fantastic capture Terri. Headed for my favorites. That stare ... the puffed up feathers appearing as a "robe" ... puts me in mind of a judge about to render judgement upon your appearance before his "bench". Hope he's not a "Hanging Judge".

Superb capture Terri and I understand something of your underlying thoughts on the eye contact and brief moment of relating between you and he that you felt...to think of the heighths he has soared and things he has seen but in that moment it was just you that he focused on...well, what a feeling...good work...your patience paid off handsomely...favs and thanks for sharing the image and experience.:Pat.

Terrific, Terry! He looks like he's saying in a paternal manner, "Yes, my dear, and what is it you want from me?" Wondrous bird. I see why he's the national bird.

oh ... when I saw the image name in my friends-list I thought it was going to be an aging Don Henley or Glen Frey ... judging by your 70's rock musician fetish

(*sigh*) ... I guess I'll settle for wildlife .. good thing it's an excellent shot, since I have to settle

and .. for the record ... he's thinking .. "food or foe?"
