Eagles from Squaw Creek NWR

[MN Shutterbug]

I just returned early this evening from basically a 1 1/2 day tour of the refuge. It's mainly just an auto tour of 10 miles. The only places open to walking, aren't near any trees. I drove it 5 times. I must have seen about 3 dozen eagles, very few within shooting distance, dozens of deer and 100 of thousands of snow geese and other waterfowl. It's a very cool place to visit. The population of eagles and geese will continue to increase for a couple weeks. Up to 300 eagles and 300,000 snows have been at this refuge at one time. I got very few decent shots, but here are the eagles. I know they're not the sharpest, but I tried.

Not bad, X. Like the action in the last one!

I really like the last one. IS that with your new camera?

Wow I love them all but especially the first one. Nice work.
