    I photograph Eagles in BC a few times a year. Your shots are spectacular, and arguably, the best Eagle shots I’ve ever seen. Your narration takes it all to the next level. Keep it up Mark. You make a lot of people very happy. One day I’ll join you on a tour.

    My brother in law has spent his entire career studying and focusing on the birds of prey in the New Mexico and the south west,and he will love this work you have created. Although trained in physics and a graduate of a prestigious university he decided to make his life’s work cataloging the birds of prey and publishing his observations to better understand our effects on the species he has studied. I know that your work will mean more to him than you could imagine, being able to freeze in time and with such precision and clarity, what his life has been devoted to. My thanks for your contribution to our understanding of the beauty of something most of us will never see in person and for the chance to forward this to Terry Johnson so he can experience your work. You are a true artist

    Great narration, video and photos, Mark. I was meandering along a trail on White Fish Island, down near the rapids where I live, when I met a husband and wife each with a camera equipped with a long lens. He shared an image of an osprey, fish in tow, that he had captured. I said to him: "There is a fellow, I think in the Florida area, who takes great pictures of birds of prey." He responded: "You mean Mark Smith? I use some of his recommended settings." That's proof that your birds fly far and wide. 🙂

    Astounding photos and video. I noticed something interesting at 5:36 in the video where the eagle eats on the wing. When the bird temporarily lets go of the fish a few times to rotate it head first for easy swallowing it does so in sync with downward beats of it's wings and a slight upward movement of it's head. This leaves the fish 'weightless' for the small time the beak isn't clamped on the fish. Clever Eagle 🙂

    Mark is arguably the BEST Wildlife Photographer in the business today, and also has the best video one could ask for. I have followed Mark for years and celebrated with him when he passed the 5,000 subscriber threshold. I think we should all make a concerted effort to get Mark over the 100,000 mark by recommending his videos far and wide. Please help me in this quest. I am not affiliated with Mark in any capacity and only ask, as yet another Photographer, that you join me to help give recognition to a guy who is grossly under recognized. God Bless and Thanks, Gil, Largo, FL
