I live within a few hundred yards of the nest near the Decorah fish hatchery that is featured in the film. (I believe some of the filming was done from one of the windows of the barn on the farm where I grew up.) Lately I have noticed that the nest seems to be tipping toward the south. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just my imagination? It is in such a great location for being observed that it would be a shame if it were to fall. Wonderful film!

As I am a Wisconsin wildlife (still) photographer it has speical meaning to me. I found your film to be beautifully shot, informative and inspirational.

In the 40 years Ive lived in northern California I had the pleasure of seeing an eagle hunt successfully for it's prey as well as watching it eat. It was also great to learn the eagle was taken off of the endangered species list in 2007. Thanks for your beautiful work. Hi Neil,

How about filming the Red Tailed Hawk, I've got a nest on my property that's been active the past 3 years in spring. Would love to learn more about these raptures that I can't find on the net or in books. Many similarities between the Eagle and Red Tailed Hawks. The film was great!

Awesome! It makes me just want to lie down in the wilderness and watch them fly overhead all day..... Here in south Louisiana (Bourg) the population is growing each year. Today I saw three bald eagles and yesterday I saw five....more than I've seen at this time of year in years' past. Being a wildlife/nature photographer myself, I was able to take some awesome shots of eagles this year. Check them out at www.bayoubellephotography.com There is nothing else like the sound of a soaring eagle just above your head as he swoops down to catch his prey.....just awesome!

I volunteer for a school run wildlife organization and we just released an adult eagle back into the wild on November 7th. We have two juveniles that we are trying to rehabilitate and then release. hey neil,
