Thanks, Walt! I used to think I was, primarily, a landscape sorta photographer but time has proven otherwise. Every once in a while, though, you get a really nice setting like that one and it's almost impossible to take a bad shot.

Hey Paul,
Did you have that bird (Golden Eagle) tethered? How did you get such a great shot at that focal length? You're starting to make me mad. Ha!!

It's my Power Animal. (HA!)

In all seriousness, @Roy1961 is correct... We have the Safari Park here in Escondido, CA which is the "sister park" of the San Diego Zoo (we locals still call by its old name, however, the "Wild Animal Park"). What makes this park unusual, if not unique(?), is that the animals are not kept in cages, per se, but instead are housed in huuuge, open-space enclosures that replicate the animals natural habitat. Since there are typically no bars between you and the animals, you can get really good, clean shots like the shot of the eagle. In this particular shot a handler was... well... handling the bird and giving a lecture so I was able to shoot from about six or eight feet away. I could have gotten closer but I didn't feel like shouldering my way through the crowd for those few extra feet.
