It amazes me how these eagles can do the excorcist head thingy...

    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!"

    Thanks everyone
    These, like all the others are fun to take...only wish some others would have been perfectly in focus...guess we take the good with the bad. After seeing all those eagle shots from our local group doing the Iowa trip, me thinks that's the next shoot. The eagles at home have gone fishing someplace else cause I've only taken a few keepers this week.

    Thanks for the kind comments!
