Thanks Jeffrey. I've asked Jim to change the title.

Nice shots, especially the one in flight.

We certainly didn't feed him and he didn't seem to be expecting that from us or acting like he wanted us to. He simply didn't mind my son and I's presence. I certainly was surprised. Its unlikely he got used to being fed by others since I've hiked on Catalina Island on several different days...

Makes me wan to try this.

I guess he just got used to me, but he wasn't all that scared in the fist place. I guess they have no preditors there and nobody is shooting at them with guns, so maybe they are not conditioned to be too fearful, at least not this one.

About 5-7 feet for the first shot and 2-3 feet for the second. It took a while, following him around for about 30 minutes, to get a shot with the Casino and Avalon Bay in the background.

Beautiful image.

Amazing!

Nice composition and contrast and still plenty of detail in the shadows. Nice deep rich colors.

nice rich looking landscape. Amazing depth of field. Nice complementary color scheme between sky and ground.

Both are great shots, but in comparison the first is more stoic and the second more intense.

sharp as can be and nice out of focus background.

very nice capture.

Great catch and nice amber glow natural lighting.
