thank you,they move really fast and of course If they are already close to you trying to track them is even harder! Far away anybody can track a eagle but not up close!
One thing I haven’t talked about before Jane is the sound! When they turn I can hear a distinct change in sound.
If a eagle went past you on a calm day you’d hear a distinct sound.It’s the air being disturbed by their feathers. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.
Once, unbeknownst to me, a eagle dove straight down at me while I was napping in a canoe on a very calm day. The sound was high pitch and alien like! Never heard a sound like that again!
Made me wonder why it did that?
I know animals can try to warn other animals by using loud sounds. A animal can get another animals attention by making a loud noise.
When I’m shooting bears I get close. Sometimes a Harbour Seal will come up behind me and purposely make a huge splash to create a loud noise so that the bear will look up and see me close by.
But what the Seal doesn’t understand is that most of the bears already know me.
Yes, I know the feeling of making that lucky shot. Still, you have to be there and be tuned into the moment. I call it a focused meditation. 🙂
great way of describing it Sabine! I agree!
That is an amazing photo Wayne – the size of the wings and the bright-yellow feet trailing behind, yet sideways and always the intense look on the Daredevil’s face. I sure hope he puts on his turn signals to do those acrobatics!
Whoa! What a turn! What a shot!
thank you Emma, the hard part is tracking him constantly so that If he does anything like this the shot will be in focus.Very tricky!
Fantastic shot!
thank you Anne!
Amazing.
he can turn very sharply at times and most of them I miss.
That is so cool!
thank you Audrey,It all happens so fast…..about 1/2000 of a second actually!
Wow!
He’s definitely a “WOW” kind of guy!
Thanks for dropping in!
Heh, action shot! :D

Amazing!!!!
I bet you’d love to be a eagle soaring about and making high speed dives!
I sure would :)
yep,anybody that flies wants to soar!
That is such an amazing shot!! Jaw-dropping!
thank you Lynette! I’ve gotten so familiar with him that I can almost feel when he’s going to do it and so am prepared!
WOW!! Amazing capture, Wayne!
thank you Sabine but more luck than anything else. After taking twenty of these I only get one!

Romeo is a show-off, but I admire his skills. He seldom fails to get my attention
he is amazing Noel and to see it in person cannot be described to be honest!
