Its been a bit hectic at work over the last couple of months and have not had time to get out to shoot much except on the weekends and then mundane things have been interfering.
Ian (Wallace River) was kind enough to advise me on where he was when he shot some eagles a couple of days ago, so this morning packed the gear into the car and took a drive up to Pictou, a couple of hours away. It was sunny with cloudy periods, windy and minus 21C.
There were some eagles out in the treeline a loooooong ways away and I despaired on getting any close ups and even shot some pics of crows chasing gulls.
After being at the field for some time (3hrs) the owner of the abbatoir came out and told me that there was a juvenile on the top of his house! I quickly left the field and drove down the road about 100 yards and manage to get the close ups of the juvenile. Never did get any shots of eagles in flight (man I suck at that). Oh well, a long day, cold weather and some close up shots of a juvenile eagle. All in all a great day!
Tks Ian!
