A Few From Belfair State Park 11-26-2022

We went to walk the dog on a foggy, wet, clammy, cold day. Some clearing from the North while we were there, a cool breeze was barely tolerated by my arthritic hands and shoulders. Tide was out but a large number of migratory birds were evident. Saw and photographed American Wigeon, Green-wing Teal, Northern Pintail, and Mallards. Mist and general atmospheric distortion was at work again today. AF had fits at things beyond about 60 yards-stationary or moving. Managed a few. The Young Eagle flew around a few times really stirring up the ducks, gulls, GBHs, crows and so on. During one leg of its orbit it flew behind some tall trees, so I looked around and noted a couple of little guys in the bush ahead. The Canada Geese were so close that they were inside of the minimum focusing range of my 500pF.
I am pleased with the look of the D500 files overall, considering the atmospheric challenges.

Beautiful set, Tim! I like the stare from that young eagle.
Thanx! I managed a string of 25 like this one. An inept hunter. Sat near the preening Pintail and watched, unsure what to do.

Thanx! It orbited me twice. I stood about 150 yards from where it took off from. So it orbited about 60 to 75 yards out. Majestic youngster.

A nice set of bird shots. You looks like have a wonderful variety of subjects to work with. IMHO, the picture of the Wigeon landing is your best image of the group. Not only is this an interesting bird in action, but the subject (the landing bird) is offset from the center of the frame, giving the image a little more energy. Nice job.
