Hey. I saw a nice tutorial for that kind of action, but since i can't find
it anymore, let me explain you how can you do this.
First - open your image with PS and go to the Channels palette. Now's the
tricky part - check every channel and see in what channel your bird
differs
from the backround the most. When you find id - select this channel and
duplicate it. Now turn off the visibility of every channel (RGB, Red,
Green,
Blue) except your copy of the channel, you just made. Now select your copy
of the channel and set the channel option to "Selected areas". You can
call
the Channel options pop-up window by pressing the area as shown here:

This action should invert the colours of your b/w photo - but don't worry.
Next thing to do is to set the Image-> Adjustments -> Levelst so the Eagle
differs from the background even more - try various of sets so your eagle
should be (almost) completely white, and your background - black. Hit OK,
and if there're some areas of your eagle still not white - just paint it
with the brush tool with white. On the other hand - if some of the
background elements are still not black - fill them with brush tool (black
color of course). Now all you have to do is to make a selection - ctrl +
click on your copied channel, turn on the RGB channel, go back to your
layers palette and copy/paste the selected area.
I imagine this explanation could be little confusing or
hard-to-understand,
but i assure you - it's very effective. If you try it and still have some
problems - please fell free to e-mail me, and perhaps I can help you more.
