Stopped by after our chiropractic appointment. Just as we arrived the hunter-killer team showed up and flushed all of the ducks, gulls and so on. The Eagles then landed about 50 yards apart on the sand spit formed by the outflow of Big Mission creek.

My knee gave out on my while walking to grab some Eagle shots. Had to take the Eagle images through some bushes-that is where I ended up-on the ground! No injuries besides my pride! Handheld but from the dirt!

As shots were cropped and processed using "alternative" methods. Z9, Z100-400, Most shots were taken at 1/3200, f 5.6, ISOs from 500 to 7200.

Download and enjoy! What do you think?

You did good from the ground. I thought it was your shoulders that were bad.

Well Tim, I think these are very well done. You did a great job with exposure, good detail in the whites. With your crops you were close enough and I am very sorry to hear about your tumble. Believe me, I can relate! Nice work, stay safe, I enjoy your posts.
