Hello Tim

I am also freezing in the true north strong and free - up here in Edmonchuk!
I saw a juvenile bald eagle this fall - by the time I could stop the car and try to track him down, all I got was a tiny little spec - the flight shot I got had that typical raptor curled wing,, though - :dunno
My goal for spring is a lens long enough for birds and soccer!

Where is there open water - only place the NSask is open is by the power plants.

The open water is at the Bow River and a few eagles stay year round as long as the Ducks and Geese stay. Most of the Bow stays ice free.

Here is to Alberta :thumb and hoping the wind chill stays away.
