    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!"

    Wow! What action! In that second shot, is that a peregrine falcon along with the baldie? I thought it was a kestrel at first but in comparison with the baldie the size looks too big. It looks like a peregrine. Talk about a two-fer! thumb.gif

    That's a fantastic, once in a lifetime shot. The fish seems to have been fumbled and is floating in mid-air between the eagles. Makes me wonder which if either of them actually ended up with the fish. Congrats on a true wallhanger. bowdown.gif

    I don't know about birds, but as truly majestic and powerfully focused they look. It doesn't look like they drop the ball that often.

    Dave, Adam and Nick - thanks for this weekend guys! It was a blast meeting up with you again and having the opportunity to see all of these eagles!

    Dave and Adam had told me about getting 90+ eagles in one shot last year. Here's my version... mwink.gif

    I was completely AWED by this sight! The scene reminded me of seagulls flying around they were so thick!

    A couple more of mine...

    Thanks everyone.
    I think the teaser may be my best shot of the weekend.
    I'll try to get some more up tomorrow, tonight I'm just to tired to do any PP work.
    I hope the others add a few shots to the thread.
    If I wouldn't have gotten a single shot, this weekend would have been worth it hanging around with these guys.
    Thanks for putting up with me.

    Do I have to do everything for you? 123. How's your sensor looking? Were there any specks on the sensor from the emergency cleaning?

    If it's not to much to ask where and when could so many be found in one place? I would break the bank for such an opportunity. bowdown.gif

    Alright. Over a hundred in one shot.
    Last year was 93.

    The sensor is better than it's been for a long time. Thanks Nick.
    If it wasn't for Nick, I'd have been in real trouble. I smeared the sensor when
    I tried to clean it. But the kid saved my butt.

    Later.

    Gentlemen, it was a blast. I can't wait to do it again.

    I've only looked at one of my photos from the trip (the one below). Hopefully, I'll get a chance to go through them tonight. Until then, here's my 1st pic.
