There is a Bald Eagle family that stays in Manitoba for our winters. I feel blessed and lucky to have seen a few members of this family on my way to Birds Hill Park. Yesterdays encounter was something else with the blue sky and sun shining down on the eagle as he sat perched on the tree top scanning the area for food.

Beautiful compo and capture Debra. He looks very relaxed here and your focus is spot on. Reminds me of the eagles that used to winter over in this area and how I miss them. Your nature presentation sounds wonderful, this will be a great treat for the seniors with the added enjoyment of being able to view some of your remarkable photography.

Wow! super capture Debra. Look like Mother Nature was on your side for that one. The zoom option shows beautyful feathers, well detailed. Full light on the head is perfect. That kind of evergreen tree accompany so well the eagle. You will need to start a Wall Of Fames of your own.
