I know that you must have been "flying" with them while getting these incredible pictures! CONGRATULATIONS

Don't beat around the bush Duane, just tell them this is the male...

I kept it neutral because I wasn't sure...not trying to avoid anything. :lol:

And it is the male if you want to call me out.

Every chance I get ROFL

And I have a question for Shelly....how come normally it takes you one to two weeks to share you images with the members of this forum but this time it took you what.....2 hours to process and post them? :lol:

What gives? :?:

Umm...that would be BECAUSE SHE SUCKS!!! :mrgreen:

Shelly · **Posted:** Fri Aug 07, 2009 9:09 pm

OK, OK, I SUCK, I get it - but in the words of Mike, "nanny nanny boo boo" :lol:

Honestly, I can truly say I've not seen many things this incredible. I'm glad to be able to share it with everyone becaues it was one of those rare things I'll probably never see again. And hey, I don't even care that the sun was right behind them - I'll take crappy pics than no pics at all.

Yes, it IS the male adult - confirmed by Reese. And Duane, "Mom" was on me about getting them posted - she even put a teaser up on the forum. And poor Dana, I had to call her and fill her in so she didn't have to wait. And Mike, good job not spilling the beans!! I was still so pumped when I was processing I barely had the patience to do them :lol:

I probably should go back and redo them when I get a chance but I wanted everyone to see this. I'm so happy Azalea finally "got" it!!!

So if this is the last I see of the eagles for this year, I'll have no regrets. BUT I'll be there tomorrow a.m. looking for them anyway

You should be proud in all seriousness Shelly. A once in a lifetime event and you captured it all. I'm sure all of us wish we were in your shoes today.

Well.... I have ALOT to say...

First of all I can not think of a nicer person who I would like to say "YOU SUCK BIG TIME" to...
You deserve the Atta Girl of the Week Award :!:

Now I gotta earn that baby back<VBG>

Amazing pics... I would say our parent is Dad as well... but I think Reese said that Dad has left the area... Very strong case here for an oopsy! I definately think that Daddy's little girl is requiring a bit of extra effort to get her off on her own.
Big step today baby girl!! All caught on camera by Papparazzi Extraordinaire, Shelly Fowler... I am so thrilled for you :mrgreen:

Next, I would like to say in the defense of the afore mentioned Shelly Fowler that she definately did not rush in posting these pictures. I can testify to the fact that she took hours and hours and hours .... and hours to post her pictures. I waited through each anguishing moment of it.

I love the pictures and am so pleased that you got to catch them! Without you we would never have witnessed this amazingly desperate ate of parenting!! :lol:

Awww, thanks all - and Dana you're so sweet too. But Henry and Duane, QUIT YOUR

breath taking Shelly. have officially joined the Shelly sucks fan club!!!! :lol:

YOU ROCK GIRL!!!!!!

OMG Shelly, you DO rock - thank goodness not when taking these amazing pics. Bet you're still shaking. So happy for you, gal what a joy for all of us. Wow, you deserve all these wonderful comments. Best is that you can now say " I suck!"

OMG - what absolutely fantastic once in a lifetime pictures. You so deserve to capture this. Dad is such a fantastic teacher. I wonder how long it will be before she carries one back to the nest like HK did. Maybe Dad did the same thing for him. A ritual of passage maybe? I think eagles are a lot smarter than people give them credit for. The timing it took to meet her in the air and pass this fish to her. Upside down, turning, twisting. The way they communicate is unbelievable. Thank you so much Shelly for sharing this moment with us.
