By Steve Segner Sedona News: Mike Schroeder’s opinion on Sedona.biz labeled “Sedona Management” has prompted me to write a rebuttal of sorts. I find the opinions of Mr. Schroeder to be off base, and un-factual. I am using this opinion submitted to Sedona.biz as an opportunity to correct some of his thoughts and add a few of my own.

… among the coolest shots of Bald Eagles that I have taken are the three in this missive. A mating pair with a male probably no more that 2/3rds the size of the female. We had the good fortune to find them perched on a cliff about 30 feet above the lake, looking for fish over a quiet bay of Lake Pleasant. More frequently than not, they will take off at an angle to the side or many times fly away giving you a nice shot of tail feathers … intentional? This guy took off coming straight at us…

By Tommy Acosta Sedona AZ: I am a child of the 60’s — a proud Baby Boomer. I came awake during the summer of 1968, when the war in Vietnam was raging and so many of my generation were being sacrificed and maimed in the name of freedom and of profit.
