Shot some eagles today...

[sabbath999]

With my camera, of course...

It was colder that heck (6 degrees at the time) but the eagles were out and flying over the Mississippi at the dam... the turbulance of the lock keeps the river cleared for a mile or so downstream, and all the eagles in the neighborhood show up to fish. There were about 50 out today, but I have seen as many as 200 at a time in the past.

Here are a few of the 200 or so pictures I shot:

Great shots, well done. What's the deal with that last shot, did you use a soft focus filter or something or just some post-processing?

Amazing shots. I too wish we had birds like that around here. What dam are you talking about? I might have to find a way to do some business nearby
