Best eagle of the day


Recommended Posts

Aside from the eagle comparison listed on this board, here's the one I like the best from the day, with only as much post processing as needed to bring it to the life it had at the time. The light was darn hot from the side, but it worked out pretty good.

It appears as if he is looking at you as his next meal. Did you use the mouse squeaker again? Sharp eyes are really necessary for an outstanding photo. Everything else is secondary because I believe the viewer's eyes are definitely drawn to the subject's eyes. "The eyes have it."

Here is my best photo from Saturday. We took a nice trip up Hwy 61, stopped at the Eagle center in Wabasha and then looked for Eagles as we drove up to Lake City. This is one we found just off the Hwy between Wabasha and Lake City. This was our first eagle viewing trip. I am amazed at how many we saw. They are truly beatiful birds.

We've been fishing the Alma Dam and last Friday we had perhaps 80 of these beauties working the area from the dam downstream about two miles. It wasn't unusual to see 8 to 12 at a time in one tree along the water. Shots without a telephoto would have been futile since a guy can't get too awful close to them right now in a boat. Another month and they tend to mellow out a bit and actually will get approachable.

ST...

I was wondering.....Have you ever saw an Eagle standing in water?

I saw an Eagle Standing in water, about a foot and a half, and it was a Bald Eagle. This happened In Yellowstone.

Just wondering if you have ever seen this? I was amazed. I have photographed a lot of Eagles in VNP. I have spent a lot of time there as well as Ely.

Nice photo, Ealges are awesome!!!!!

Nossir, never saw an eagle standing in water that deep. That's a lot of water for an eagle. But, heck, they're used to snapping fish up out of water, and I've seen ealges go almost totally submerged when dive-bombing for a fish and still get up and fly out of the water with the fish in their talons. Takes a lot of power to do that with wet feathers.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
