Juvenile bald eagles held court this morning in one of the local ranchers' fields. At one time we counted 10-12 eagles in the field, most of them juveniles. We were pretty far away from them, so the photos aren't great, but I thought I'd show you the kinds of things we got to witness this morning.

I'm thinking if I were that magpie, I'd just let the eagle HAVE that carcass! This little bird's got balls. :)

I LOVE our new lens! Caught this guy sitting on a post right outside of town. He was fairly close to the highway, allowing me some time to practice with the new lens. I love it, I love it, I love it. My old lens would NEVER have focused on the eagle in flight, but this one, SUPER fast! I'm hoping I'll be able to get some great shots once the eagles are here in full force.
