This eagle is at the Mountsberg Conservation area, being cared for after it was found with its left wing caught in a wolf-snare. Now half of that wing is missing and it can no longer fly, though it tried a few times while I was there. Very sad indeed.

i'd love to be able to shoot something like this in my living room ;-)
excellent shot, slippy, and a nice finish in a monster challenge. i have that same lens, but hardly ever use it; i was thinking about selling it, but this shot makes me want to hang onto it.
OMG! I"m in love! I love these types of shots! The intensity in their eyes is just mesmerizing. The yellow on his mouth and around his eyes ( the beak is more orange) is very well done. The composition, hte setting, perfection in itself. A9
