Less than ideal conditions in the fog and at the outer range of my equipment (100-400 w/2x)...but glad to have a site to share. Mom still bringing home supper but suspect not for long.

Even with the conditions, that's an astonishing capture.

Very nice capture. I would love to see the image with a tighter crop and with them not dead center.

Great shot. I think the parents will continue to feed and train them until next winter. Maybe longer.

Thanks all for the look. Welcome instruction on shooting in the clouds, mist, haze. Here is how I'd crop this one, Paul. I'm curious if it is possible to determine gender of these feathered friends at the early age. Appreciate the trained eyes of this forum.

What a great find with so much potential. I'd be camping out there. Nice job.
