I went to Colvill Park in Red Wing Mn, looking for eagles. I found gulls.
Lots and lots of gulls. Fortunately, I'm easily entertained.

The gulls were always feeding, and I was always shooting.

Taken with a Canon XT with a Canon 400L F5.6 lens.

The Dive.

The Catch

Some of the bigger guys had some luck.

There are times when you have something that others want.

And sometimes, the big one gets away.

Thanks for looking.

    Thanks Steve.

    There were a few eagles around, but they were pretty far off.

    I think I should call this: Air Force One with Escort.

    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!"
