BugLightGeek Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #1 · Right Place, Right Time Today was DEFINATELY an example of being in the right place AND at the right time. I happened across the Kestrel on the branch. I setup my tripod and managed to get just a couple shots before this Bald Eagle came and chased him away...oh well, at least I didn't mind! All shots taken in Alton, Illinois - D70s, Sigma 120-300 F2.8 w/2x TC Edited on Feb 24, 2008 at 03:26 AM Feb 24, 2008 at 03:25 AM

Ruffo Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #6 · Right Place, Right Time You found the magic tree branch. Even though you happened to be in the right place at the right time, you still deserve the credit for getting the shots as things changed quickly. Well done. Feb 24, 2008 at 05:55 AM

Mike Keithly Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #7 · Right Place, Right Time How long after you left the lock did you run into this guy. Where at on the river were you. Nice talking to you yesterday Mike Feb 24, 2008 at 03:20 PM

weatherman Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #9 · Right Place, Right Time Oh come on why would he run from those pretty bald eagles? Great shots. Are those down by the dam under the rte 3 bridge? Feb 24, 2008 at 04:44 PM

alameda Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #13 · Right Place, Right Time Your title said it - that is what it is about! It also helps to have some talent and equipment to back it up. Great set! Steve W Feb 24, 2008 at 10:22 PM

saltywalty Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #14 · Right Place, Right Time Great shots ! I've never been able to get close enough to a Kestrel with my 70-200 to get a good shot. Feb 24, 2008 at 10:44 PM

Nice talking to you yesterday Mike Hey there, Mike...did you get my email? I'd say it was about 30min or so after I left the lock area. I was right under where the road goes under the bridge.

Allen Hirsch Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #17 · Right Place, Right Time Great captures, Chris. I grew up about 25 miles from Alton in S. Illinois; I'm still waiting to see my first eagle in N CA, where I've been for a long time. The fact the eagles are showing up in Alton might be enough for this "weather wimp" to come back to visit family in the winter (something I'd sworn off long ago after a nasty Christmas trip, weather-wise).

Commodorefirst Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #21 · Right Place, Right Time nicely done, as you have said to me, (looks familiar ) Was a pleasure shooting next to you and meeting you. See you out there again soon, Wade Feb 28, 2008 at 02:55 AM

Karl Witt Online Image Upload: On p.1 #22 · Right Place, Right Time How nice to have a lovely Kestrel set the stage for a beautiful bald eagle landing! You moons were aligned and you were in the zone, good for you, never know what presents itself, being there is rewarding. Perhaps you also bought a lottery ticket that day....? Very nice shots.

BugLightGeek Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #23 · Right Place, Right Time Hey, commodorefirst...nice to see you drop by! You going to be out there Saturday? Karl...no, I'm afraid I didn't buy one. Not a bad idea for next time though! Feb 28, 2008 at 10:37 PM
