Bald Eagle (From behind a fence guarding it's nest and the whole North end of the island along with it- 400mm and extremely cropped)

What it actually looked like at 80mm

And these things- these really creeped me out. There were so many of them when they all moved you could hear the buzzing of all their little legs going. Glad they seemed to be scared of me- I was having visions of falling down and them swarming all over me. The picture does not do it justice- there must have been a million of these things.

I swear the one on the right was trying to convince his friends to go after me...

    The middle image of the fiddlers is cool thumb.gif I haven't seen them like that in years. A bird feast on the run.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Well done captures Jeff. I agree with Harry on the lighting and positive results. Plenty of fiddlers a bit further down on the Gulf Beaches this past week as well.
