Hi Y'all,

After 6 long weeks I finally got to shoot today. One of the highpoints were a pair of young eagles having a disagreement over food.

The older one was enjoying a snack.

"OK Kid stay away from the carrion and no one gets hurt"!

"If that's your attitude, I'm outta of here"!

The "departure" was a clever ploy to try the other side. It didn't work

"Coming at Ya"!

In the end experience wins out over youthful enthusiasm

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!"

    Harry,

    Very cool shots, great seriesclap.gifclapclap.gif

    The guys over at the fish hatchery (they are a wonderful help with wood duck releases) told me there are a couple eagles showing up. Not that I'll get much with the 70-200 but it would be real special to see one.

    Hey Harry glad to see ya shooting, hope your feeling better (you know what I mean).

    Hmmm very fine series of dirty Eagles and busy backgrounds, Oppps did I just say that :hide rolleyes1.gifblbl.gifrolleyes1.gif :hide

    Of course who am I to talk since I have not one stinking EAGLE to offer in rebuttal, however I do have plenty of busy backgrounds shots :wow rolleyes1.gifrolleyes1.gif :lol4

    If had to choose I'd go with, Coming at Ya and When Eagles meet !! thumb.gif

    Jeff, when I was shooting the scene my attention was on cpturing the eagles. I didn't even see that damned cow bird. Thanks for the kind words Jeff.
