Romeo is gorgeous. Are you close enough to talk to him?
Oh yes, I always talk to him Anne. I asked him how many eaglets they have this year and how was he doing?
I’m glad you talk to animals. I talk to dogs and cats.
we each do our Dolittle thing I guess.
they may not understand our words but they understand our “intent”
Me, too, Wayne, if second hand through your always-excellent photography!
thank you Doug, just being with him is reward enough for me!
They are magnificent on all counts, and in flight, they are especially so. You always manage to capture that aspect of their being, Wayne, and that keeps me coming back to your posts!
and because you are a serious birder and were in the Nebraska birding world that is the best compliment I’ve been paid. Thank you Doug, that means a lot!
My pleasure! I’ve experienced the Pacific Flyway, briefly, thanks to family living on it, and I enjoyed seeing new birds there. I think the bald eagle must have been endangered still, though, since I didn’t spot any. Regardless, they are more common here in Western Nebraska now.
we can never have too many Baldies!
Oh, isn’t he grand!!
he’s all that and more Liz
:D
So incredibly graceful in landing. Spectacular shots! Look at that wing span…
all 7 feet of it too Noelle! I can see how his talons have worn down the top of that rock!
The wing span and feather definition always get me. I am glad Romeo is back, and it must have just taken you quoting a few words of Shakespeare possibly ? :)
I think Shakespeare would of paused himself If he had been with me. It’s always breath taking to be around them!
A grand entrance indeed, Wayne Hi Romeo! Enjoy your conversations with your admirer!
thanks Terri!
What a treat for you, and you got the grand entry!
very much so Jane! It’s such a pleasure to see him flying towards me when he sees me!
Superb sequence you have taken Wayne of Romeo. Too good.
Thank you Kamal!
Welcome Wayne 😊
Wayne, in that last shot, Romeo looks like he’s bowing to an audience who is giving his arrival a standing ovation. I can completely understand why he brings smile to your face.
Ha ha,……you have a great imagination Beth!
Your pictures of Romeo make me smile too.
If he only knew how famous he is……he’d probably start charging me!
He is so gorgeous, Wayne. You have quite a friendship there!
True, very unique with both Romeo and The Daredevil! I am very lucky!
Glorious!
Wow wonderful photos! Excellent shot! Thank you ☺️
thank you Priti!
You are welcome stay blessed 🤗🥰
Majestic is the word that comes to mind. It must feel good to have a connection with Romeo.
very much so Jennie! I’ve never had a relationship like this before.
Wonderful!
Beautiful shots Wayne! You can really see the wingspan of Romeo’s wings as he prepares to perch and greet you.
thank you Linda!
Beautiful shots and I’m smiling just picturing how wonderful it is to hang out with him!😁
I never tire of spending time with him……and how could anyone to begin with!
Beautiful Wayne, the depth of field on these photos makes it almost look 3d. :)
thank you Sandra!

thank you Michael for showcasing my fine feathered friend,Romeo!
Former generations would have called him a god. Wonderful and very gorgeous. xx Michael
good point Michael but we’ll keep that between us as I do not want Romeo to get a attitude!
This sequence is truly profound, Wayne. Your meeting spot, your friendship with Romeo, and this stunning series of his landing.
thank you Jet, he is a true force of Nature and I’m so happy I found him!
Romeo has the most gorgeous tail feathers. It’s like a fan he spreads when he’s ready to land. I smiled at him. :)
and if he could,he’d smile back!
Their tail opens wide like that to cup the air so as to slow down when perching. They have 7000 feathers but only 12 white tail feathers!
Wow, that is really amazing because they really stand out, especially when he’s in flight. What if he loses one? Does it grow back, or does he just have a hole in his fan?
both actually,….there is a hole there but underneath his bum is a second row of small feathers. One will grow back in. They also use their tail feathers much the same way a boat uses a rudder to steer.
That makes total since, because planes do the same thing, just not as beautifully. :)
Good example Marsha, we observe Nature and “try” duplicate it…..just not as elegantly.
How true, especially in the more modern era. When we went to Florence, Italy years ago, I was impressed at how artistic scientific and mechanical equipment was. I did a post on trains last Wednesday, and the trains WERE elegant. You might enjoy the cover picture picture. https://alwayswrite.blog/2022/05/18/wqw-18-transportation-trains-planes-and-working-machines/
Yes,I remember going through that post Marsha. I enjoyed seeing Manny check them all out.
Absolutely stunning photographs!
thank you, he always brings a big smile to me when he greets me!
Hi TP — Romeo is reminiscent of a man with powerful legs coming in for a landing in the second image. It must be lovely to have such a graceful, adoring, and reliable friend. :-)//mm
yes,I cannot explain how fortunate I feel to be allowed in and to be able to get close!
Thank you for visiting!
Wayne
Woww!!! Such a beautiful view..

You got perfect timing
