Tough shot to take and did very well on this one Gary.

Thanks Friend, This was taken in the rain

Actually I have a few shots of the Eaglet in the rain, I don't recommend doing it that way but I need practice under different conditions to "Get The Shot"

I was getting some Eaglet shots in the rain which I will post a few this evening. My shots in poor light and bad conditions were not what I was looking for. I played with Metering, ISO, Exposure and Shutter speeds to try to get more out of marginal conditions. In Alabama you can't always expect perfect conditions for Photos.

We've had more towhees hitting our feeders of late, and that's not a common sight. They're usually bug-intensive and only come around the feeders to get the crawling critters below them. That's a nice shot, Gary.

I don't use feeders or any thing other than they are just in the swamp where I'm shooting Eagles.

Thanks

Nice Gary! I like the color in this bird. Good catch.

It is rather colorful but the Lack of light doesn't do it justice
