Yup, I blinked first.
Love their oh-so-serious looks and expressions. I had taken several shots of this bald eagle and I think he was weary of my clicks and attention.
He soon left, pic shown in comments.
Thanks for your looks though!

This bald eagle presented a nice pair of angel wings as it was leaving its nest. (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)

For more photos from the British Flair have a look at the set on facebook:
This eagle is around 3 years old. Notice the bands on it's legs. The green band means that it is from New Jersey.
Florida, USA
Admittedly, it was a big crop, but it was really nice to see the adult and the young eaglet be in the same space. I wonder what the adult might have been communicating to its offspring?

The African fish eagle (icthyophaga vocifer) or the African sea eagle is a large species of eagle found throughout sub-Saharan Africa wherever large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply occur. It is the national bird of Malawi, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The African fish eagle feeds mainly on fish, which it swoops down upon from a perch in a tree, snatching the prey from the water with its large, clawed talons. The eagle then flies back to its perch to eat its catch. Like other sea eagles, the African fish eagle has structures on its toes called spiricules that allow it to grasp fish and other slippery prey.

The Indian eagle-owl, also called the rock eagle-owl or Bengal eagle-owl (Bubo bengalensis), is a species of large horned owl restricted to the Indian Subcontinent. They were earlier treated as a subspecies of the Eurasian eagle-owl. They are found in hilly and rocky scrub forests, and are usually seen in pairs. They have a deep resonant booming call that may be heard at dawn and dusk. They are typically large owls, and have "tufts" on their heads. They are splashed with brown and grey, and have a white throat patch with black small stripes.
This large owl with the distinctive face, large forward-facing eyes, horns and deep resonant call is associated with a number of superstitions. Like many other large owls, these are considered birds of ill omen. Their deep haunting calls if delivered from atop a house are considered to forebode the death of an occupant. A number of rituals involving the capture and killing of these birds have been recorded. Salim Ali notes a wide range of superstitions related to them but notes two as being particularly widespread. One is that if the bird is starved for a few days and beaten, it would speak like a human, predicting the future of the tormentor or bringing them wealth while the other involves the killing of the bird to find a lucky bone that moved against the current like a snake when dropped into a stream.Belief in these superstitions has led to the persecution of the species in many areas by tribal hunters. The capture of these birds is illegal under Indian law but an underground market continues to drive poaching.
The bus ride to the top was intense i wish we could of take our own car lol .
The Kehlsteinhaus (known as the Eagle's Nest in English-speaking countries) is a Third Reich-era edifice erected atop the summit of the Kehlstein, a rocky outcrop that rises above the Obersalzberg near the town of Berchtesgaden. It was presented to Adolf Hitler on his 50th birthday as a retreat and place to entertain friends and visiting dignitaries. Today it is open seasonally as a restaurant, beer garden, and tourist site.
Taken near Fairmont, British Columbia.
Many thanks for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
A little gory. but I have never got an Eagle shot like this before.
This Eagle was perched on a power pole near the grain terminal eating a Pigeon. It was being harassed by several Magpies. At this point it decided to go elsewhere to dine in peace.
At the terminal site we usually see Eagles eating Pigeons they robbed from the Falcons. There was no Falcon activity, so I don't know how this one acquired the Pigeon.
