Re: I have to suggestions for moving a finely detailed bird to another background

Thanks for all the helpful responses.  Despite trying practically all 
suggestions and a few others from around the web, I opted to return to the

location where I took the image and took several background shots.  Then,
it 
was just a matter of forming a mosaic with the original background still 
intact.  An inconvenience because the location was some miles away, but
far 
better than trying to remove the Eagle and place it into another
background.
