Drove to town during lunch break today, on the way back to work thought I'd check out a local river even though it was overcast and drizzling rain. After saying yesterday I had never seen an Eagle on a fence post before, what did I see, another one. This one isnt far from the adult plumage.

#3 Looking up
#4 Take off
#5 outta here
When I got as close as I thought the Blue Heron would let me, I eased the camera up into position and hit focus.....it hunted...arrrgghh. By the time it hit focus the heron was airborne, managed the following shots. The first is full frame, resized, only PP was a touch of contrast. The second is a crop of the first, same PP. Sorry the first is clipped on the wings, but I was zoomed in for a "standing shot", not a flight shot.
#1 Full frame
#2 crop
#3 gone with the wind..and rain
Thanks for looking,
