Eagles
I spend time here in VA chasing eagles, when the weather cooperates. Lots of other birds and critters too...this was at Conowingo Dam up near Havre De Grace MD.
it is a hydro-electric dam with 6 turbines. The turbines are idle much of the time, and there is a klaxon that sounds loudly a few minutes before they are spun up. At that signal, many of the eagles on the other side of the outflow take flight and snatch up dead/stunned fish that got sucked through the turbines. There are usually a hundred photographers there when the eagles are present, and it is a cacophony of shutters clicking away when something is happening. This was taken with a Nikon D-800, and an f2.8 400mm lens, on a Friesel U-Mount atop a Gitzo carbon fiber tripod. It was very cold that day too. Last edited by Masterlu; 02-12-2021 at 06:50 PM.
