Yesterday this gang of eight immature Bald Eagles was terrorizing the neighborhood at Tschache Pool at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge in Central New York. Pretty sure these are Bald Eagles from the yellow feet, and long beak. They were about 3/4 mile away, taken from the viewing tower. Canon R6 + RF 800/f11. 1/1500 sec, f11, ISO 800 + Topaz Sharpen. Cropped a bit, but any more would have lost a lot of detail.
According to Merlin the other is a Greater Yellowlegs. Taken at the small pool by the Visitors Center. Canon R6 + RF 800/f22 + 2x Extender. 1/3000 sec, f22, ISO 5000.
PS Last year about this time the Black Lake had what had to be hundreds of Great Blue Herons. Not so this year. Some assortment of waterfowl, but no great numbers of anything.

With one adult and a bunch of immature eagles, I'll bet that duck in the grass doesn't even bat an eyelash. It couldn't feel that good being that close to being dinner. Good shooting, good shots.
