This was a great winter for Bald Eagles on the Big Blue River in central Kansas. I have about 1,000 "keepers," mostly taken in February. Here is a sample. C&C welcome.

All were taken with an EOS 30D and EF 100-400 IS.

1/800 sec @ f/5.6, ISO 200

Nice memories. :)

Are yours all gone back to the woods too? We have a few at any given time, but now that the ice is gone, so are they. :)

Nice stuff!

Do you know a dentist in your town by the name of Tom Rainbolt? He was a classmate of mine.

Photographs are records of life. Pity they don't make music when you put them in a record player. :p

Thanks.

I believe that Tom Rainbolt is the son of a teacher (Rosella Rainbolt) that my kids had in elementary school. He is now practicing in Lawrence, Kansas. However, I don't know him. Small world, anyway. Did you go to school in Manhattan?

Thanks. I got shots of eagles in the top of that same tree on four different days. It is right beside a turn-off on the road, and you could just pull over and take shots until one of you got tired of it all. This shot was from the first day I saw them there, and it was the best light of the bunch.

Yeah, all we have up there right now are Ring-billed Gulls. The eagles and waterfowl have all gone north. I was surprised that I was still seeing eagles at the end of February.

Well, like I said, it was a good year. It seemed as though if you waited 15 minutes, one or two would fly by looking for fish, and somtimes there were 7-8 soaring around at a time. Nothing like the numbers along the Mississippi or in Florida that have been posted here, but great for us.
