Nice shots, but it ain\'t your pond. I bet on most occasions there were more photographers than eagles there, which is all the more reason you should be happy that you got some stellar shots.
John: Correction is, it is \"my pond.\" A history lesson is needed. I have been photographing bald eagles at the same site since 2007. Along the way, I coined the phrase \"my pond\", \"the pond\" on Fred Miranda when I posted my first bald eagle shots.
In those days back to 2012, there were far many more eagles than photographers or on-lookers. The same is not true today.
Am I fortunate for the images I captured and posted in this thread, yes I am but, I put in many more hours this year than any previous year and I had to get there 1 to 1 1/2 hours earlier just to get a good shooting spot.
Thank you for your reply.

I gladly grant you the phrase, but there are many who started shooting there before you and they don\'t begrudge the ones who followed. Just consider yourself lucky that before you didn\'t need to be there as early as we now all have to be.
Can you name the many or the few? I know a many who came before me and all, like me do begrudge the change. We all know and accept it will get worse before it gets better. That is the way it is. Ya\' can\'t get an eagle shot sitting at home.
