Some eagle shots along the Mississippi River at Lock and Dam #14 near Davenport. The first five shots are of a eagle fetching lunch. Shot with a Canon 1DX and EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II, 1/2000, f/5.6,ISO 1250, 165mm.

On the last shot I had the awesome opportunity to use a friends EF 600mm f/4. What a sweet lens! 1/2000, f/5, ISO 320.

Thank you all for the kind words... unfortunately finding eagles in the Chicago area is very difficult although they are making a strong comeback. In the winter they migrate down from the north when the lakes and rivers they fish become frozen. They seem to like the lock and dam areas along the Mississippi river along the Illinois/Iowa border. December through February seems to be the most active. Lock and Dam #14 is about a 2.5 hour drive from the Chicago area.
