Eagle Watching

The above photos are some I took this past weekend

when we went out to look for eagles in the area.

I don't have a fancy camera with a long zoom, fast lens.

I think I managed to get a few decent photo

(almost all of these are cropped in)

despite the birds not being near us.

This photo is one I took several years ago

and although not the best

(it was zoomed way in with a digital point and shoot camera

using the digital zoom function)

I still like it. I entered it into a contest at the time.

It tickles me to see the eagles standing on ice

and the pelican slowly paddling by them,

headed upriver. He (she?) looks so out of place!
