Going In For The Fish

Going In

Everything I've read about taking photographs of moving birds (Eagles) tells me that if you get 1 out of a couple of hundred you're doing good.

That being said... I shot about 300 photographs today - haven't gone through them all yet, but it appears that I perhaps have 4 or 5 that might be "ok" - nothing that screams "Wow!"

A Persistant Fisherman

Fishing

The first Eagle picture of the weekend.

We arrived at the train station in Fort Madison, Iowa (Helen, her sister, and their mother are riding a train to California) before the lobby was open so we drove around Fort Madison for a bit.  I stopped to take this guy's picture but he wasn't about to take flight.  It's a game of patience and my bladder gave in before he took off.

Everyone is safely on the train and riding the rails towards California - and I'm in Keokuk, Iowa for Eagle Appreciation Days.  Stay tuned - there will be more Eagle pictures!!
