Thanks for sharing this wonderful capture! It has been awesome watching the bald eagles return to Oklahoma over the last ten years or so.
I've been using prosumer type digicams with 12x optical zoom for the last few years. You can catch these super zoom cameras for less than $300 with many SLR type features and they reach out real far. http://www.flickr.com/photos/freewine/
It seems to me that it is not the business of the government to decide who among us is legal vs. illegal.
Actions can be illegal or legal, but there is NO such thing as illegal people. Tax cheats aren't illegal people, nor are insider stock market traders. Even presidents who are disposed after a long train of abuses and usurpations are entitled to their day in court and the mercy of their churches.
The biggest problem with today's government is that it sees 'picking the winners' as its key reason to exist.
Governments exist to secure certain rights for ALL of the people...and not to quibble over membership.
