Slightly cold day!!

[buzzsaw]

Went on a road trip from Lakeville, down to Alma, WI, then to Red Wing (Colville Park) searching for Eagles and then up to Prescott, WI in search of a Barrows Goldeneye. None of us said too much about being cold, except in the facial area that was exposed... and man was a 20+ mile an hour wind in your face coupled with the temp made for a biting sensation. here's a few I came away with.

Colville shots...

Common merganser carrying on...

A Redtail Hawk that was holding tight on a fishing dock tucked behind a hill out of the wind.

Through the fog...

A few shots a fellow photographer (Guy S) took of me. The first is with Andy.

Getting the right angle... gotta love the Gitzos.

How are the eagle numbers down there Buzz? I was down south of Redwing last March and they were thick on the river. I'm hoping to make a return trip this year. There was a pulloff on the highway and on the far side of the river there must have been 100+. It's a fun sight to see (and an opportunity to snap a few shots).

I like the shot of the stick coming out of the river.

Nice comp and exposure on the red-tailed. That one is very nice.

Looks like fun even if it was a little chilly. Coool shots Almost makes you want to have a cold beer

[Jim Almquist]

Almost forgot nice shots. Like the affect the steam had on the shots.

Very nice,I'd say bravo even if they were not this nice just for the effort of shooting in those conditions.I'm way to soft for that.

I thought about you guys as I spent the day inside a nice warm gym shooting basketball games all day Saturday You guys should get a big "A" for effort! Oh, and your sensor looks good

In Alma they were all way back, but there were a good number of Eagles and in Red Wing we saw maybe 40???

Dan, thanks again for taking the time to clean my sensor, I now have the courage to do it myself! Also, thanks again for having me and my two children over at your hanger, Ryan loved the airplanes!
