Bald Eagles. Not a great picture but this is the same couple that I watched last year after "migrating" for six months. They should mate and lay eggs next month. I am monitoring the nest for Audubon as an Eagle Watch volunteer.
Terrible Purple Fringing mostly removed in PaintShop Pro between heads and chests. Still some in the background. Taken at dusk.

Look at the photo below

There is no stinger on the wasp, only a small hole.

That is because the bird hit the wasp against a branch, causing the stinger to break off (more pleasant for the throat)

Very nice. I think I might have tried to clone out those tree branches in the bottom of the frame. Tfs.

That is a good idea. Thank you.

I think I like the one with the tree more....? Really? Yes, I think so.
