Stephen > This bald eagle is one of the captive eagles that the Dallas Zoo has.  It is injured and will never fly again, but it seems happy enough with its mate.  One of the aspects I most like about eagles are the eyes and powerful beak.  Dallas Zoo, Dallas, Texas, August 2008
Stephen > Taking a look back, this bald eagle stayed put on this perch for a while before heading out on a late afternoon hunt.  The afternoon light was harsh, but I like the way the head is turned and the eye contact.  Llano, Texas, December 2007.
Stephen > This is the perch I received within about an hour of arriving in Llano, Texas to photograph these wintering eagles.  It turns out that this was about as cooperative as they were going to be this day.  The rest of my eight hours were not this good, but I did have a wonderful time conversing with other birders and simply observing these majestic birds.  December 2007.
Stephen > Early in the morning, one of the bald eagles came out of the nest and perched about 40 yards away from the fence line.  This image and the next five are the sequence of shots that were shot next.  December 2007, Llano, Texas.
Stephen > What do you get when it is freezing, sleet is falling mixed with snow, and the sun is no where to be seen?  You get this.  When I visited these eagles outside of Llano, Texas in January of 2007, it was horribly cold with a winter storm moving in.  At least this eagle graciously gave me a look.
