Readers’ close encounters
Shelly Fowler photographed a remarkable encounter between two eagles that nested at Norfolk Botanical Garden. She captured the adult male in midair trying to pass a fish to the juvenile, named Azalea. View more of her extraordinary sequence of photos at http://www.pbase.com/shellyva/eagles.

“No one I have asked has ever witnessed a midair exchange of food between an adult bald eagle and a juvenile,” local eagle expert Reese Lukei says.

I'd like to highlight out this part of Shelly's reply and state she actually said something most of us photographers can agree upon. :lol:

Seriously...toot away Shelly....It's much deserved.

Shelly SO glad you are getting credit It's richly deserved. Now everyone knows what we eagle lovers knew all along. You are very talented and make what is many long lonely days on your part look easy.

Well done

Michele.......you have arrived! Much love to you and all who bring the majesty of these eagles to so many more people who otherwise would never share in our joy. Thank you so very much. I should dare say this should be on page one of Duane's 2010 edition of "A Season With Eagles"........Or the 2011 calender cover. Any arguments??

Shelly, congratulations on the front page coverage of your amazing photos!

I just LOVE these photos and they are to die for! I told Shelly I am interested in having these for myself but I am not sure how. In what way do you think these should be presented? Collage? or as some kind of photo essay with captions? Personally I have got to have these photos. It's a great way to end the season. The last eaglet leaving the nest shortly after Dad passing a fish to her in mid-air. Classic!
