"Spring is in the air"

[jonny_redhorse]

After one rough cold frigid week,today was unbelieveably nice!....the sun was shining and you could really feel it!...Here's a few images from this mornings drive....nothing special,just nice to enjoy the spring weather....

eagle against the first light of the morning....

another later in the morning...

the deer were certainly enjoying the warm morning sun!....

I'm otta here!....

the chickadees were also enjoying the thaw....

and the redpolls against a blue sky for once!...

Lovely images, love the last closeup of the redpoll, fantastic chickadee image, and I think that first image of the eagle might also look great presented vertically. Sweet stuff.

Nothing special, my foot. The first eagle is stunning.

Thanks all!....Here's a shot at a verticle...."tweeked" abit of course .....

Nice shots johnny, no sharpies yet?

[jonny_redhorse]

Thanks Jay..no....nothing yet on the sharpies.....fields were starting to melt a bit but along ways to go yet....that last shot of snow the other day sure didn't help!....I'm watching the fields by the Watsula road and Racek road area(just north of Meadowlands)....it's where they were last year....within the next 2 weeks for sure...well,maybe

[ShawnZ]

The vertical presentation is awesome!....imo

[JayinMN]

That seems to be the best lek in the area to watch. There is another one on Arkola but you need a spotting scope to see the birds.

Superb work Jonny!

[knoppers]

nice shots jonny. I heard the redwing blackbirds singing today on my pond.

Thanks again all!.....I managed a few images of a couple eagles this morning(actually saw 4)....I might add I've noticed a rise in bald eagle sightings the last week or so....I saw a few yesterday also....

the sun was almost behind this immature baldy....didn't give me much of an opportunity for that "perfect" shot...I think he has cataracs ...
