The birds just would not come in today for their daily dose of chicken. The numbers are also down this weekend - I only spotted about 25 or so today. The day was mostly overcast - sorry for the bad lighting.

I think that you did well with these images. No harsh shadows. It also looks as if the light reflected from the snow and or ice on the ground may have helped illuminate the underside of the birds.

Thanks. There was some snow on the ground that helped me out!

Thanks Gary. But compared to the 100 I seen in the same place last month, the numbers are down. The feedings are going to come to and end soon, most eagles will then leave for the season.
