Eagle Tonsils

Ran across this one in the files and thought it might be worth sharing. I guess this guy wasn't too impressed with having his portrait made and he let out this huge yawn. Shot along the Chilkat River.

Glad you liked it, Bob.

Thanks, Karen.

Chilkat, Randy, Chilkat. And woolies.

Thanks, Louie.

If you notice on top of his mouth he's got what passes for teeth as well.

 

Thanks, Andreas. I had rented that 600 to try it out. At the time I was trying to decide whether to purchase a 500 or 600mm prime. I was well pleased with the IQ and with how well the lens handled TCs. But a big part of my evaluation was based on handling for air travel. Mostly for that reason I ultimately opted for the 500.

Thanks, Darrell.

Thanks, Allan. That sort of light isn't the norm for Chilkat.

Thanks, Dossy. Glad you enjoyed the image.

Thanks, John.

 

Thanks, Binnur.
