Rising Eagle, photo of eagle.

For Valentine's Day, we went out on a photo shoot. It's our favorite thing to do, and you never know what you might find! As it happens, we saw this eagle on a knoll, sitting on a post. As I walked toward him, he shot me dirty looks, and when I was invading his personal space to closely, he stretched his wings for flight. Here he is, tippy talons on the post, one second before he flew away. These birds are incredibly huge when they stretch out like this. It was an awesome sight.
