Managed to get back down there yesterday and spent a couple hours shooting these strange looking creatures. They're no Bald Eagles, but they are very photogenic. Thanks for looking!

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

I agree, real nice shots, a great set. It must be quite a sight to see them coming in.

Crap-I think you just set the Spoonie bar out of my reach! Very well done, Chris! Had a little trouble finding them this year, and when I do, they're a little too far away.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. These guys kept getting closer and closer so that I had to take off the 1.4 TC. This was the first year I had an opportunity to see this bird in person and was thrilled I could get some images. Thanks again!
