A beautiful still, Alok, and I loved the way you panned out at the end of that marvelous video, so one could see the entire habitat.
 
Cracking close up shot of this big beauty, Alok!! tfs for a super video too. Always marvel at the ability of birds to turn their heads 180 degrees.

Beautiful shot of this gorgeous eagle. I sure was impressed with your video and the end when we saw the distance between you two and the raptor. Well done!
