“I am the eagle, I live in high country in rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky.
I am the hawk, and there’s blood on my feathers.
But time is still turning, they soon will be dry.
And all those who see me, and all who believe in me
share in the freedom I feel when I fly.
Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops.
Sail o’er the canyons and up to the stars.
And reach for the heavens and hope for the future
and all that we can be, and not what we are.”
-John Denver, The Eagle and the Hawk

One of John’s best songs – I still put it on repeat whenever it crosses my mind. Wonderful images as an accompaniment, as well!

Wow! I would love to take pictures like that of a bald eagle – or even see one! Those are great pictures!
Beautiful photos. We finally have a few bald eagles that have taken up permanent residence in our area. They are magnificent to watch. ❤
Thank you for sharing your photographs. What a wonderful creature!. Oh, and the late John Denver’s lyrics. Wonderful song and a great man. Thanks for sharing.
Agreed! Thanks so much for the kinds words and stopping by. I am glad you enjoyed it!
We went up to the canyons yesterday at Starved Rock park where maybe 30 pairs of eagles nest and fish on Illinois river, but did not get to see one up close, just in very far distance. So, I am grateful you came in today with gifts and posted these beautiful images!!!! I am looking forward to one close encounter like this. 🙂
Incredible pics. That fish looks as big as the eagle. Such strength..
Wonderful capture of this Eagle in different stages of flight. Thanks for sharing.
What amazing captures! I marvel at the beauty of the Eagle. I saw one close to my home last week sitting in a tree- but did not catch it in flight. Thank you for sharing this
