Gone Fishing. (7 pics)

I went to Colvill Park in Red Wing Mn, looking for eagles. I found gulls.
Lots and lots of gulls. Fortunately, I'm easily entertained.

The gulls were always feeding, and I was always shooting.

Taken with a Canon XT with a Canon 400L F5.6 lens.

Some of the bigger guys had some luck.

There are times when you have something that others want.

And sometimes, the big one gets away.

Thanks Steve.

There were a few eagles around, but they were pretty far off.

I think I should call this: Air Force One with Escort.

You made winged rats look respectable :thumb
And, who says you need 8fps for quality bird shots? :clap Well done!

[davev]

Thanks guys. I didn't the skyrats, I mean gulls would get this kind of response.

Thanks again.
