Although there's nothing particularly unique about this photo, the amazing thing is; I shot this while watching the tractor trailers on Route 4, on their way to the GWB and NYC. I counted damn near thirty Eagles moving up and down the Hackensack River. Still boggles my mind.

I had to edit this post. I counted thirty Eagles not semis along the river.

Why you watching tractor trailers on RT4?

You know this is a pretty darn nice image in that light at that ISO Al
There may be more room to sharpen, looks like you kept the noise down so a well exposed shot to start with I am sure
IMO you may have a more creative way to crop this one if interested........Maybe putting the eagle upward in top left cornerish allowing room for it to look down and diagonal would benefit the image, there is a bit too much uninteresting stuff above IMO and that brighter sky changes the mood of that neat look in the eye of your Eagle buddy!

A very good shot and well presented sir........

Hi Al,

I was wondering when the eagles would come down. I'm glad to know they have so now I am torn between eagles and snowy owls.

Very nice photo

Ok Karl. I knew I could count on you to give it to me straight and not "Blow Smoke". You're absolutely correct about the crop. I always like to go easy on the sharpening to avoid the halo effect. I was a low light situation which made it tough. The most important thing about this shot is the story. Seeing these Eagles fishing in what used to be a very polluted river that runs through Hackensack NJ. is just plain crazy! Being able to walk across the street and see them is even crazier!

Thanks Morris. You need to take the trip over the Bridge. When you start getting close to Riverside Square Shopping mall, look up and you'll most likely see some Eagles soaring over the parking lot in beautifull downtown Hackensack.

Eric;
I have to set the record straight. It was thirty eagles, not semis that I counted. I need to pay more attention to what I'm posting.

Thanks Scott. Yours is a typical reaction. A lot of people who have moved out of the area are shocked that there are Eagles in this area.

Super shot Al. It's amazing to see the perches these huge birds can get to in spite of all the surrounding branches.

That's true Kirk. Especially the Eagles in my area. They have to deal with parking meters.
