Back to eagles
Just another eagle shot. liked the look on his or her face. The river still hasn't frozen so they are around but not concentrated. There are still quite a few along the river, sorta like the lines in a grocery store. I know there are a few limbs in the shot that could be removed but that is where most of them sit.
Sigma 50-500 1000mm eq 1/320 ISO 200

Cool shot, Kendall. Looks like he's eyeing something right over my shoulder. I'm waiting for a good cold snap to head out.

Very nice, could be called "waiting for freeze up". What river?

Great head shot. You must have a good place to shoot.

I really like this eagle portrait, Kendall, the details are very nice. I like the 'reach you're getting with the gear as well. I'm looking forward to more shots as the winter conditions progress.

John, I'm pretty sure these are taken on the Mississippi near one of the several 'lock and dams.'
