I spent the day at Paynes Prairie SP on Sunday. It was cold. I know that when I lived up north it would have been just another winter day but here in Florida mid 20 is cold. There was a lot of activity all over Sandhill cranes, American bitterns, red-shouldered hawks and about 6 adult eagles and two young eagles. Here are a couple shots of the eagles. Let me know what you think.

    It was the most eagles that I have seen in one place other than in captivity.

    Hi Keith,

    Nice find, even in the cold!

    What part of Payne's prairie where you shooting at?

    I was near the main entrance on Chacala trail at the lake. There is a short boardwalk and I just stood there waiting for everything to pass by. Early in the morning (when it was really cold) I was up on the La Chua trail and it was loaded with sandhill cranes, American bitterns, egrets, white pelicans, herons and ice in the warterways.

    Eagle captures are always a thrill.

    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!"

    I haven't been up north to any of the parks there but this was the most eagles that I have seen that weren't in a cage.
