Yep, from a buddy's pond. Here's from the first venture of the season, a tad early for sure.

Herb

#5-8

Must be a nice big pond, well stocked too

I hope you and your 'buddy' had a good time herb, you need a shorter lens #7 Those are some mighty fine fish coming out of that pond!
Black Vulture is ugly cool looking Cormies tail looks like a fish tail #2.

Glad you had eagles to enjoy, and that look from the Osprey is wild!!

Karl

Wow.. great set.


Jude

Fabulous set Herb, thanks for sharing
David

it's a nice set Herb

All the eagles are very nice Herb. Cormies look good too. Great detail on the vulture - The O is super too - first time I have seen a catch light on the bottom of the eye in an IF shot ~ Ron

Great opening set Herb.
Outstanding detail on the vulture.

Herb- The Peanut Gallery likes these pictures.

Nice work Herb. The vulture is my pick of the set. It certainly gets my ugly vote too.

black vulture is a good find for your neck of the woods! the eagle shots are super as they normally are when produced by you herb.

Hey Ron. Thanks for the comments. I have many shots with the catch eye in the bottom. Anytime there's snow or bright rocks below a backlit raptor, reflected light always produces a nice catchlight.

Hmmm - maybe I should have said first time I've noticed it ~ Ron

That's one great pond Herb!
Eagles are looking good and love the Osprey image with that lighting

Beautiful work as usual Herb. Love the detail on the vulture.
