Bald Eagles

I have a friend (in the real world) who is involved with eagle preservation and junk like that. I obviously do not know how to phrase this at all. A few years ago he took this photo in the area of the Delaware River. You have to click on this to enlarge it to really get a sense this. There are 14 Bald Eagles in this tree. Some are mature, some are juveniles, some have their backs to us. This is not photoshop trickery although I have to take two scans and put them together so I could get a copy of his printout. It's pretty amazing. I went with him one time to see some nests. I was hoping to see an eagle dive into the Delaware and grab a fish in his talons but it didn't happen that day.
