"Photoshopped" is the
majority opinion of some photoshop amateurs, too. One produced other photographs showing the same eagle on the same railing (reportedly in Alaska) with two white cats prowling around on the floor beneath him as proof. To me, those photos suggest just the opposite: a wary but curious, eagle. (And curious cats). The eagle has probably just eaten, or at least
one of those cats wouldn't be in the picture (pardon the expression
).
I think the photo is real. One tech says the photo is old: another enlarges the photo to disclose a finding that I don't see. Others familiar with eagle behavior agree. (Others don't).
As it is, the eagle can make an easy "break-for-it" from this railing which appears to be very high off the ground. He could end up missing some tail feathers as this photo suggests:
Too bad about photoshopping nature photos, though. Is this one real? Who knows?
