Eagles on a dull, dark day

I can only imagine how these would have looked with some brighter light!

Nice set Ian, you did well with the light you had. They brighten up any day.

Thanks Dab, yea it was fun watching them. AT one point there were a couple of adults on the ground and 3 juvies flying around at each other.

More great shots, I went to Pierce & Bonaventure island to see the Northern Gannets this past summer & was going to stop by Wallace river but time didn't permit. I wish we had as many eagles here in Southern NH.

Thanks Ron, if you come back this way let me know!

Image #1 would have been INSANE with good light! With that said, still a great series-well done!

Yeah, really, eh Mark? Thanks much. Sometimes I feel thankeless....yesterda​y was bright and sunny, and it was tough not to blow out the whites on their heads....but it was midday when I was shooting, at low tide. I have to balance the tides AND the times for best shooting.

Amazing images Ian, even with the light. We have 20 or so Baldies at the refuge right now, but I can't get within a quarter mile of them. Oh well, I'll keep trying.

Thanks Dave. Wow, 20? Lots of opportunities coming up there!
