One out of two ain’t bad. (2 photos)

Golden Eagle Taking Off

A week ago today was a special day because I had two different encounters with two different Golden Eagles.

Golden Eagle Flying Down A Mountain With Blooming Rabbitbrush In The Background

An oldie but goodie that set in motion an unfortunate series of events that came to a head last night.

Golden Eagle Accelerating Soon After Takeoff

Nine days ago I got a long series of photos of a Golden Eagle taking off and in flight. These are three of them.

Golden Eagle Takeoff And Flight In Warm Morning Light

Golden Eagles give me buck fever. (9 photos and 2 video clips. Hopefully the video clips work)

Golden Eagle Losing Its Balance On An Awkward Perch

Plus yesterday I got a single photo of the rarest bird I’ve ever photographed. (3 photos)

Golden Eagle In Flight Soon After Takeoff

I’ve posted three other photos of this bird in the past but I think this one also deserves to be seen. After all, I don’t get many opportunities with Golden Eagles, especially in flight, in good light and reasonably close.

Golden Eagle Showing Off Her Impressive Wingspan

A bird I won’t soon forget.

Golden Eagle Nictitating Membrane

I’m often disappointed when the bird in one of my photos that I like otherwise has its nictitating membrane closed. Not this time. (2 images)

Golden Eagle In Flight Yesterday Morning

It’s been a while, a long while, but yesterday morning I finally got back into the field again. An adult Golden Eagle in flight was one of my rewards.
