A juvenile Bald Eagle sits on a freshly baled hay along the Red River Floodway looking and watching his mom soar with the wind. When I noticed the hay bales I started to watch for wildlife/birds around the bales. Always nice to get a landscape shot that includes another element of life.

I love a country view like this and the eagle adds a special element to the image. Nice focus on the points of interest on such a long shot of the hill top against a moody looking background sky. Very nicely captured Debra.

Gorgeous composition to this shot. The eagle is a bonus to the comp. Sky is grand looking. This photo really draws your eyes in.

Great compo here Debra. Lighting on the hay bale is dam perfect and the darker cloudy sky really enhence the subject. Agree with you all the way about pairing one element of nature (landcape) with another (living animal ). This is true for flowers and insects, a beautyful sky needs birds in it, and so forth.
