The forecast called for fog . Fog is one of my favorites things to shoot in. So,off I went this morning to the spillway.
Much to my disappointment, no fog , only gray skies and eagles
The Bonnet Carre Spillway is a large area with lots of water and trees. You never know if much less where you will see the eagles. So much territory and food source for them .
I was thrilled to hear that shrill call even though I could not see them. So, there I was all alone, just listening and looking when much to my joy I spotted the juvenile .
I was watching the juvenile when the adult came and ran him out of the tree. There is something very special for me to hear , see and watch these magnificent birds.

These are large crops of 50% , not up to the stunning shots I see here, but I was so thrilled .

Your nits, crits and suggestions are much appreciated.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy,

Birdie

Great job on these Birdie especially considering the conditions. I get excited every time I see an eagle so I know what you mean. Love the second shot with the landing gear on full display.

Way to go Roberta! Having these experiences in solitude is very special. While we all enjoy shooting in the company of others the experience of doing this in such intimacy is way better IMHO.

Liking #2 Roberta. Good for you to go out on a poor day and come away with something so worthwhile. May the sun shine on your future outings! Don

Very cool Birdie I agree with you completely, nothing like being in nature and feeling the thrill of such a magnificent bird and you have a great camera in your hand. I thought the pictures were great, look forward to more !!

i think you are underestimating yourself, maybe the lighting isn't up to some of the shots here but you did great with what you were presented with, #2 is fantastic
