Nice shooting under challenging conditions. Love the eagle on the no wake buoy. Also, I found your final shot interesting. At my eagle spot, the second the gulls see an eagle, they take flight. If there are a lot of gulls, you can hear them taking off. Your gulls don't seem too concerned. They would be quickly killed at my little spot. Gary
Gary, I guess these gulls don’t taste very good, or something easier to get tastes better. Thanks for your comments.

Gary,
These gulls must not taste very good or there is a better tasting prey in the area!
Thanks for your comments.

We had a small snowstorm yesterday and I wondered what raptors do in the snow. Here are a few photos from the trip to Farmington Bay in Utah.
Focus is a little hard to get with large snowflakes but it makes for interesting photos.

REALLY nice.... life goes on while we sit in the warmth of our homes. The buoy shot particularly cool! - literally and figuratively! 👍🏻😀👏🏻

Great job Steve. Keeping the lens clean, finding focus, staying warm make these kind of shoots interesting but also exciting.

Nice set. I tried getting a large crow in the snow last week with a D810 &200-500. Focus system was all over the place hunting like crazy.
