Barring my traveling about 4-5 hours to the Skagit river to get great eagle shots, I tried to hit up Sauvie Island. The day was gray, overcast and drizzly and while the birds are there, you get zilch for good birding spots, trails, or photo areas, I will plan a trip someday soon for the Skagit!

After this, I went to my local wetlands where I get a good viewing booth for eagles, except they sit more than 1/4 mile away :rolleyes. I did happen along a fishing Heron who was so engrossed, that I got to within 20 feet of him.

    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!"

    Thank you Harry, I know I didn't ask for C&C, but I have been a bit suprised that I had no comments on these yet as I thought they were some of my better heron shots. Oh well, guess I can stoke my own ego well enough, I had fun processing these, didn't have to do much to them other than cropping.

    They are fantastic. Love the ones where the fish is in the air between his beak.
