When thius egle la nded it looked to me like he had arms and hands.
Same guy as in previous photo when he is landing.
JUST OUTSIDE YELLOWSTONE OVERLOOKING THE RIVER. "I don't see any fish. You guys see any fish?"
They are using their "eagle eyes" to find dinner.

Eagle. Jackson Hole. OK, I admit I am a fan boy for eagles. So intense. They just sit high up in a tree, no movement, and use their "eagle" eyes to spot their next meal.
Like I said in the introduction, I don't use photoshop to change the photo. The bird was there when I snapped the photo. Just lucky!
This was taken on a trip to Antaritica from about a mile away using a long range lens. I just kept snapping photos and was delighted with this one. That was 15 years ago and I have taken a lot of whale photos since, but none better.
This was the first whale I saw on the first day of my Hawaii trip. Figured I would see many more during the rest of the trip. The reason you do not see more whale photos from Hawaii is because this was it.
All of the water coming down gives you an idea of the enormous size and strength of this fella.
As you have probably noticed, I love whales. This one emerged from the water very close to our small boat. Another few yards and we could have exchanged some conversation.
ANTARCTICA. MENKE WHALE COMES UP TO SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING. TURNS OUT HE IS WHAT'S HAPPENING.

CHURCHILL, CANADA. MOM JUMPS TO GET MORE FOOD WHILE CUB SNACKS.
Yellowstone. A big boy. Glad I had a zoom lens.
RWANDA. 1984. Taken with a film camera and no zoom lens --they were that close to us!
"What should the family do tonight after these tourists leave? Bowling, play cards...I need to really think about this."

CHURCHILL, CANADA. WHO SAYS POLAR BEARS CAN'T LAUGH?
This is a blue boobie. The photo was taken in the Galapagos Islands. I put him on my website because his turquoise feet are said to be unique. If that is not true then off he goes.

CHURCHILL, CANADA. ARTIC FOX.

ANTARTICA. "HMM...WONDER IF IT'S TOO LATE TO FLY TO MIAMI FOR THE WINTER."
YELLOWSTONE. "DOES AMAZON SELL TIPS FOR WORN OUT HORNS? IF THEY DO, WILL THEY DELIVER TO A NATIONAL PARK"?
ANTARTICA
ANTARCTICA. Wonder what the guy on the right has been up to. His buddy on the left obviously is going to claim that he "didn't see nothin."
CAMBRIA, CA. Let's end this soon so we can go back to the beach and catch some rays."
FOUND THIS GUY IN MY BACKYARD. THOUGHT HE WAS A GONER BUT AFTER THE SHOOT ENDED, HE JUST FLEW AWAY.
