Extreme winds yesterday, still very strong today. Saw the group of eagles yesterday at their last location, but no one was home today. In fact, one of the rare days without a bird to be seen, ex a group of Canada Geese bedded down. I did get one shot I liked. A rancher was chopping hay in a stiff wind. Looked like a good candidate for Monochrome. D7200 AF S Nikkor 200-500 5.6 E ED

Great image created in B&W. Good thing you were not blown away.

Thanks! Yesterday was really crazy, gassing up the SUV I was holding onto the gas pump with one hand, the vehicle with the other to avoid exactly that. I have been in hurricanes that didn't have winds that strong.
