you had the time to shoot .A one bass time slot, great shots .nothing like a bald eagle :clap did you see him get the fish ?

[davev]

Ian, start up that thread. I bet we could get a lot of posts to it.

AJ, thanks.

Jwear, I had a lot of time to shoot. I think I was watching him/her eat for
about a half an hour. There were some ducks for me to shoot inbetween bites.
(I didn't see the fish being caught, I saw the eagle on the rise up)


The eagle was watching the crows, to make sure they didn't get his catch.
The ducks, kind of stayed by me. I think they knew the eagle wouldn't come
near me. I wonder why the ducks would be afraid?:dunno

I don't know what happened to his foot, just guessing.:):
