Cool photo of a beautiful bird of prey

Thanks Trying out my new Nikon d3400 had to save up for it then I had to save up for the lens!

I see... so you are a real photographer.... Something that always interested me, but I am pretty poor, so I have to make choices...

I try, I've never done any Professional Photography but it has become a passion :-)

Oh, but "real" does not mean you do it for a living ;)
But I like it when people share a true passion ;)

How close were you able to get to it?

I was able to park my car right under the tree he was sitting in, about 40 ft. up 😎

That's impressive! Usually an eagle would have flown off if a person got that close to it

This is one of there winter feeding grounds the river doesn't freeze over close to the dam and they are quite used to seeing people. there were several professional photographers there also.
