[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
My favorite eagle again. Here she is getting a drink and being rather messy about it. No clucking noises as she approached this time, as she was further away. I do not know if the clucking is a warning, a greeting, or just talking to herself, but it sounds eerily like a chicken as she walks about. A very large chicken, of course.

I have not been able to get this bird bathing in some time. I would like another shot at it now that I have better glass and technique. Probably not this year, though.

nice "action"-shot of the wonderful bald eagle enjoying the water.
i really like the "frozen" line of drops from her beak and how she is getting her feet wet.
well seen & captured, thor.

Nice image. TFS. Whats the name of this raptor?

Hi Christopher
great shot with perfect exposure and great sharpness
BUT
imho the motion blur of the head is very disturbing nice shot anyway

Bonjour Christopher,
Très belle image de cet aigle, on imagine bien la vitesse avec laquelle il a retiré son bec de l'eau, très bons détails et magnifiques couleurs

Hello Christopher,
Great shot. How did you get her to do that? lol. I have a friend who is a master falconer. I must tell him about your photo. She is a beautiful bird.
