While heading to fields that were filled with Snow Geese, I saw a couple eagles waiting for opportunities on the power poles.
Always opportunistic with short days and windows of weather that allow photography, I had to stop.
Unfortunately the weather turned fast after capturing the eagles and a ??.

Heavy downpours with significant gusts of 25+ mph started just as I left the car and was headed into the fields filled with hundreds geese...
Thankful to get what I could, when I did...

Great to hear from you Joe! It was last Wednesday when the weather was decent for a couple hours mid-afternoon. Sadly I got shut down when the skies opened up.
