    Thanks,
    I had to give up going through them for the night. So far I have looked at about half of them. Laughing.gif

    I'm working on it, only a few hundred more to go through. I think the reason there was so many was because there was a deer carcass on a spit in the middle of the river. To get the shot of the last one here I had to walk through the water and over to that spit. It was 36 degrees. BURRR!

    Excellent series, Mark. clap.gif

    You hit the motherload of eagles here, and are evidently well equipped to take advantage of the opportunity. Great work. thumb.gif

    I love the first and last ones. And #3 "The Portrait" is awesome. Great work. Good luck going through all the photos. I'm jealous.

    Thanks for the kind words everyone. I went through the rest, there are some other nice ones but they look a lot like the ones I posted here. I got a few flight shots but I was too slow to pull the trigger. Oh well, I am very happy with this outing.

    Whether or not you find some more keepers is moot question now because you already found several great shots from this outing. Congratulations!

    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!"
