The Eagle has Landed - a photo on Flickriver

            Well, almost. I took this photo over 6 years ago. This immature Bald Eagle seemed to be practicing it's nest building skills picking up sticks and things from the water and carrying them to the top of piling posts. Came in empty clawed this time. I sat and took a long series of these over about 30 minutes. Unfortunately, it was a rather dark morning with heavy overcast, so the photos didn't look good. I didn't do much with them at the time, but thought they would be a good candidate for Sliders Sunday and would see what I could do with this one. The boring dull grey sky has been swapped out with a more interesting one, along with lots of other slider pushing to get it to look like this. Hope you like it.
