I am link up with Skywatch Friday and I am also adding Klaus"s website Klaus Virtua Gallery.
We all have Klaus to thank for Skywatch Friday. He was a great photographer and friend to many. I've never met him but I really did enjoy his photos. Klaus's bird photos are some of the best I have ever seen. I have to say I am sure I am not the only one who will miss Klaus and his great photography. My deepest sympathy to Klaus's family and friends.
My sky included a juvenile eagle seen over my bird study site at the reservoir. It flew around the clear cut area in a circle, a very cool sight to watch.
It reminded me of the Steve Miller song Fly Like an Eagle. "I want to fly like an eagle, To the sea, Fly like an eagle, Let my Spirit carry me, I want to fly like an eagle, Till I'm Free, Oh, Lord through the revolution.
These shots are fuzzy since I cropped them for a closer look. On the juvenile eagle you can see the white underwing coverts.
Another regular bird seen and heard at my study site the Great Crested Flycatcher. I like its yellow belly. This bird was always in one of the trees next to the clear cut and was very vocal.
A shot of the sky over the reservoir.
I hope you enjoyed my skies and to see more gorgeous skies from around the world click here Skywatch Friday. Thanks to the host of Skywatch: Sylvia, Wren and Sandy and most of all to Klaus.
Thanks for visiting my skywatch post, I hope your weekend is great...Happy Birding!!!

if i could be an animal...my choice would definitely be a bird...i've done enough flying over roof tops...and through the clouds...in my dreams...it seems only natural!
A lovely tribute to Klaus, Eileen. I want to fly like an eagle too. :-)
Wonderful pictures of the eagle. I never come that close to it..
Happy weekend!
A stunning collection of photos, especially the eagle in flight!
a flying eagle has so much symbolism, little wonder many of us say we want to fly like them

Great shots of the eagles! Klaus knew where and when to find the combined beauty of sky and wildlife! He will be missed.
wonderful shots of the eagle!
Fantastic captures. The first one: INCREDIBLE!
Hi Eileen. Wow that's a big eagle and something I don't see much of unless I go to Scotland. Yes, I remember those Great-crested Flycatchers and how vocal (noisy) they can be. Have a great weekend.

Flying eagles are perfect for a Skywatch Friday entry.
