Haven't posted here in a while. Finally got out to the opening day of the eagle watch. There were plenty of people there to share in the watching, but the eagles really failed to provide a feeding show. The local farmers put out chickens for these guys over the winter and there usually are hundreds of eagles. I only seen about 50 on this day.

The shots below are from about 300 yards away with my 400 mm f/5.6 prime and my 5D II. These are large crops. Ran them through a plug-in for tonal contrast and sharpened.

Hope you enjoy!

There was a line like this on either side of me (this was to my right) and this was after many people had left.

Me too, Kenny! It's a long drive there and back for that.

Oh, I see - thanks, that WAS the whole image! I though you had chopped off the entire bottom part, but see now it's the snowy field. Thanks for posting!
