Eagles and Crows

Took a little trip and snapped a few photos.

Thanks for looking.

Those are really nice! I like the eagle landing and scattering the crows! Where did you go to take these?

I like the action in the 3rd photo. The crows making room for eagle. Nice picture of the crow too, its hard to get a good picture of a crow even though they are so common.

Good work dukhnt.

Nice shots Buddy. Did you go to Redwing?

[dukhnt]

Yeah, they were taken at colville park.

My vote is for the third one, also. I see that you shot at 500mm, which means they were on the wrong side of the river, of course. That's a nice park, but the eagles seem to locate themselves too far away, from my experience anyway. I think a person would have to spend a lot of time there to get lucky enough to find one within a decent shooting distance. Did you check out Reads Landing? I had better luck there, last time I visited the area. There are a couple places to pull off the hiway and they seem to come a bit closer. Ill be taking my wife to Rochester this wednesday for a thursday 7:30 a.m. appt. I hope we get out early enough in the day to be able to head over there. It'll only be 75 miles out of the way, so I'm hoping the weather will also cooperate.

Also, I ran into an individual looking for a specific type of eagle photo in flight, for a brochure. This gives me purpose.

I really like how you captured the action of the eagles and crows together.
