All three photos are amazing but I am so partial to the pictures with reflections and you have captured the entire Daredevil on the water. That second picture looks like a plane coming in for a landing and the third photo was the Daredevil flying overhead? Those big yellow feet and long talons – wow. This is an up-close-and-personal shot!
he was flying about 6 feet behind me while the boat was planing! Standing up,turning just my upper body (while keeping my feet firmly spread left/right & forward/back) & getting the lens steady on his face is a true test! Of course I can only do this if the water is calm.Any waves,even small are too dangerous.I let go of the tiller arm.
I enjoy playing that game with him! Its such a honour to be accepted into his world! Having a large wild eagle just feet away flying strongly & looking into its eyes is nothing short of magical! I’m very fortunate!
It looks like he’s about to say something in that last photo.
He does doesn’t he!
Gosh! Marvelous!
thank you Cindy!
These photos are wonderful! Great job!
thank you!
‘Hey, are you staring at me!’ – in the last photo.
He has to be the goofiest eagle I know.He really takes himself too serious.
That straight look in the second picture is so impressive.
Er hat mich damals gejagt. Wir spielten unser Verfolgungsspiel. Natürlich erwischt er mich immer und gewinnt!
Amazing pictures.
thank you Robbie!
His interaction with you is so wonderful to behold! Thank you so much for sharing such beautiful moments!
I can’t believe I do this with a wild eagle as well sometimes~

You are very fortunate Wayne. I felt I could reach up and touch the Daredevil … he was THAT close (and no flying sideways this time).
yes indeed!
He has such powerful (and very yellow) feet!
they all wear yellow socks.Yellow eyes,yellow beak,yellow feet
Wow! What a beautiful landing in the first shot! And I love the colors and the water based spectacular reflection! Thank you for all the shots!
very happy you enjoyed them!
The reflection is spectacular!
I think a lake would be even better with them being more calm.
