BIRD IN FLIGHT ONLY -- share your BIF photos here

How that matters?!!!!! If you are not shooting trough a dirty, not open window...
Just in case you mean the photo looks like that, could you, (PLEASE!) post some of your photos?
Sorry for the +/- harsh reaction but I got tired from the negativism at some other internet sites - every one sounds like great photog and no photos to prove it?!

Now don’t you feel foolish jumping to ridiculous conclusions?

Oh no, you misinterpreted that. Phil and I are close friends and he knows that I do actually shoot from my third floor bedroom window at times, although it’s a sliding door so not shooting through glass. It gives me a unique perspective on the birds flying by. That’s why the window is sometimes also referred to as “the magic window“ over at my old forum. So it was in no way a derogatory remark. But thank you for coming to my rescue.

I was coming to rescue of your photo not to you

I'm with you 100%. I think negative criticism can be communicated with tact or dare I say it positive intent.

You have missed the later post. He is a friend of the photographer and knows she takes shots through her 3rd floor window, and he did have a smiley as well as he was having a joke with her.

I later saw it, and it's ok. It's not here that I can remember, but as @ISv mentioned other internet sites. I would hate for the feeling here to become like that. Thank you for pointing out, in case I hadn't seen the more recent comment.

My 2nd capture of a Bald Eagle, taken yesterday. I was actually photographing some Great Horned Owls (see bird portraits thread), and this guy just came out from some trees behind me. I wasn't prepared, so my shutter speed was a bit low, and there was no scenery behind it. However, I was still excited to capture some shots of this amazing creature!

Okay, I've been real lucky lately. I spotted my first Golden Eagle last weekend! I was able to get really close to this magnificent creature. It was not scared of me one bit. LOL
I was actually too close to it, and unfortunately cropped a wingtip on the last shot =(
