Another image of the same eagle that’s in my gallery entitled, "Lord of the Skies". In this image he was readying for a launch to get airborne. What a magnificent bird allowing me into his space close enough to take his portrait time and time again. In my expeditions into the wild I try to make myself part of the environment. This seems to work for me. It requires patience and understanding of ones place in the subjects space.

Awesome portrait Mike...the detail in the feathers is very nice and it does not look threatened by your presence. Remember to leave the adipose at home;-)

Michael, this is incredible. I wish it were me taking that picture. I am always moved when I get close to any kind of wild animal with my camera.
