Flag & Eagle
Was up for a while this morning to check out the eagles and see if I could catch a couple shots. There were several people there and one couple from Ohio were setup catching flyovers from the road. The lady asked if I had caught one with the flag in it. I realy hadn't because I try not to include much in shots, however I said ok will see if I could. the flag is flying from the Lock buildings. It didn't take too long till this one went by. I cropped the shot pretty well to remove the flag pole. The count is down and there were fishermen on the ice, but there were enough working to make a nice morning. Plus I got my E5 back repaired and well.

Nice catch, Kendall! It's not very often that one sees images of Eagles in the wild along with our beautiful flag. Glad to hear you got the E5 back, too. :smile:

Very nice and very lucky! You can't capture it if you're not there! :)

Tim!
