    I'm so pleased he landed so near to you and you managed to get so many photographs. Maybe he'll stop by again and visit for a little longer next time. :-D

    Amazing. I'm so glad you had your camera. What a thrill that must have been.

    Fantastic. How amazing to get such a huge bird in your garden. Starlings sit and watch me, if they aren't squabbling. :)

    Around here we will get Bald Eagles to come down and try to pick up trout and other fish if we leave them too far away from us. Is quite the site to see an eagle try to steal your catch.

    Great pictures, is hard to get them to stay long once they know you know they are there.
