Great shot. The ruby red lipstick is probably what scared them off. Try a more subtle shade of pink next time and play some Sinatra music.

SE Kansas seems to be a mecca of duck hunters gone wild so I had the thought to get in the game also. Seeing that I don't currently own a shotgun I decided to hunt with my Canon. After getting all painted and camoed, wifes ruby red lipstick (on my cheek) and a bright blue Jimmy pickup (to better blend in with other traffic) I was ready for these elusive feathered beast.
Drove around for about 20 minutes and then I spotted this herd of ducks trying to hide on some farmers pond. Not wanting to trespass, I pulled over, rolled down the window and shot from the truck. The click of the shutter must be louder than I'd anticipated, a second later they were all airborne. I'm proud to say there was 100% survival rate in both the hunter and the ducks!

The 1st was very good & I think if your shutter speed was up a bit, the 2nd one would have been outstanding!
thank you...!

These are beautiful shot wrr! I've never seen an eagle, and my luck when/if I do I probably won't have my camera with me.
Thank you sailorsmom...I couldn't believe my eyes when I seen it, then my hands were shakin from excitement...its a wonder I got a useable picture at all!

Thank you for explaining settings, good photos. That is why I bought my 55-250 back! What mode were shooting at? P? Tv?

Don't see many of these down here in our corner of the world. This is the first time I've ever got close enough to get a half way decent picture of an eagle in the wild.
This was with a Canon 55-250 Kit Lens.
Settings - f/7.1, 1/400sec, ISO100, FL 179mm
