One of my hobbies other than guns is Photography. I thought I would share these Photos I took of a Bald Eagle while I was on vacation for new years. They were taken Near Tumalo State park on 12-31-13.

Awesome is right.

Those talons look like they would go right through a forearm without even trying.

I could have swore that was in Surfside north of Ocean Park. We worked there two years ago and saw a nesting pair of bald eagles on a dead tree identical to the one in the picture. We watched them with binoculars, simply amazing birds.

We have a few that live by Vancouver Lake and others along Salmon Creek. I keep looking for them everyday but don't always see them.

Twenty years ago I read a National Geographic article that stated that 90 % of the nations population would never see a Bald Eagle in the wild. What an incredible comeback these magnificent animals have made. Great pics...thanks for sharing!

Another (former) Cannon user, era 1969, a FT-QL 55mm 1.2 when most apetures were 1.4!

I did a Lot of Tri-X 400 ASA, that I pushed to 1200 ASA, for night shoots: using a pistol grip with shutter release.... That was in Viet Nam, My favorite memory of a shooting was on our maintainance landing pad (UH-1H) the crew was using the lights from a 3/4 ton truck, and it gave a very unusual view of the aircraft... I took a .25, .5 & a full second exposures, plus a manual 1.5 +/- second shot.... When blown to 8X10 size, you could see just a small amount of "wiggle" if you looked at the ends of the rotor blades....

but like most photographers, the most awesome shot never got taken: era 1994, on the Siuslaw River.... A Bald Eagle, in full descent, talons grabbing a Salmon for Dinner.... And the so Powerful first Flaps of its wings to carry of what must have been 7-8 pounds maybe more... Only Brain Film...

I have lots of photo's never snapped in my mind, many from that section of the Siuslaw...

a Full Moon, Rising, right ~out of~ The River..... Awesome, at 55 MPH, and only the Camera of my mind...

Thank you for your awesome photo shares... And bringing back Memories into this Ancient Finger pusher of a camera person....

Pretty easy to see why this beast was chosen to represent the United States of America! Looks like a serious azz kicker just sitting still!

Other countries use the Eagle too (Germany comes to mind). It's such an awesome creature; the American Bald Eagle is of course the best Eagle.

You know, I kinda wish this was still the case. Couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of seeing my first Bald Eagle in the wild, the only problem is he chased off the gold eagles that hang around my property. Next time I saw them they were screeching up a storm, reclaiming their territory. Guess Baldy was just passing through.

I have a ton of golden eagles around where I live, I will have to get some pictures of them sometime.
