    Eagle in Flight

    Sometimes the light is just right, the autofocus locks in and tracks right, the bird cooperates, and you get a nice image. Those times make me smile. :)

    Eye See You!

    Another wonderful piece of creation that I came across while looking for eagles.

    Crowded Runway

    This eagle didn't seem exactly unwanted on the island. It did seem like it was testing it's landing accuracy.

    Full Speed Ahead

    This adult Bald Eagle flew in the perfect direction for me to get a nice take off shot. Even with the strong late afternoon light.

    It's kind of fun when you end up photographing the same animals over several trips. This guy is particularly identifiable.

    These two don't seem to be getting the attention they're going for.

    It was supposed to be sunny!

    This deer seems to be protesting the rainfall. That or the idiot with his jacket covering his lens and camera because he had left his rain bags in the car. It’s hard to tell.

    I forgot my rain bag, so my jacket got pressed into service. :)

    It's amazing how much time the big bull elk spend munching on the grass. Here's a shot of a Cataloochee valley bull getting his greens in black and white.

    Jumping Fences is a Young Buck's Game.

    I was talking to some more local photographers and they said that this guy has had the injury for several years. It heals over partially throughout the year and he reopens it during the rut. He was walking on it just fine while I was watching.

    A Little Bit Off

    Buddy, I think we need to back up and try this again before one of us gets hurt... Two Cades Cove bucks getting a little sparring practice in.
