p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Tails from the pond. (A little gore in one shot)


Well, not too many tails, but maybe a tale or two. I met Eric at Ted's pond last Friday, and ran into Glenn and Nick too. Eric Pm'ed me Thursday night. All I had time to do was pack gear and cloths, and then go to bed early so I could hopefully get at least four hours sleep. We all had a great time, and managed to squeeze in a few shots when we weren't lying to each other. We ranged up and down the shooting area, but did not see BB. Sorry BB - I would have liked to visit with you again.

I was there two days, and the differences were very noticeable - mostly cloudy with dark, heavy clouds Fri and a lot more sun Sat. The gods were not with us most of both days as the action was too mostly too far out with an occasional foray close by. Most of the shots I am posting are cropped more than I like, but it is what it is.

Thanx for looking, and as always, C&C appreciated - except about the crappy crops. Exif should be attached.

1 - A big bird on a cloudy day.

2 - My version of Eric's butt fumble shot.

3 - 'nother cloudy day eagle - with passenger.

4 - This must be the eagle that Morris thinks is close to 30 YO. At any rate, it's battle scarred for sure. I sure do wish it was sharper. I got 3 framaes, and this one is the closest to being in focus.

5 - Breakfast is served. This was right after I arrived.

6 - I thought this shot was neat with the moon in the bg.

A07Y1689 by surfnron, on Flickr

7 - A rare shot with a clear sky.

A07Y1720 by surfnron, on Flickr

8 - Air combat. I may have forgotten to use noise reduction, but it is a large crop.

Thanx again for stopping by ~ Ron

Ron that day I was not along the fence. We were at the far side down the stairs at the railing.
Did you happen to check that area?

You did a great job on these Ron...and your butt fumble shot is better than mine for sure. It was lots of fun finally meeting you face to face and I had a blast shooting with you too. I wish I had gotten that early morning shot but left 30 minutes too late from NJ to get there for that light.

Beautiful BEs at the famous pond, Ron. #3,4,5 and 8 are awesome. I am drooling to see you guys shooting BEs.

Excellent set Ron. I love all of them but #4 is my favorite. That guy has been through some battles and it shows.

Thanx BB. I'd like to come again, but it would be a very long day. ZZZ We did go all the way to the dam, but stopped at the near side of the railing.

It was great meeting you too Eric. We will have to figure a way to get together again to shoot - sometime, somewhere. And - hey - you are much closer than I to the pond.

Thanx Tam. The pond is only a 30 min drive from BWI airport. If you come, I'll be sure to drive up to shoot with you.

Wonder how that one-eyed eagle manages to judge distances for fishing. Obviously it is doing something to compensate as the proof of success is in its talons. The gore shot is my fave. Thanks Ron!
