Went on an eagle hunt Friday afternoon but no luck... hate to waste a trip.. so shot some trees. They're much more cooperative anyway. Nikon D3, ASA 800, 80-400 zoom, f-stop varied. All taken on and below Scarritt Point.
Above and below, I particularly like sycamores... this is an elderly one... probably 80 years old or so. I liked in it color and in black and white...

Some participants had four legs... all shots taken with the Nikon D3 and either the 24-70mm lens or 70 to 300mm lens. ASA 1000 to get a high shutter speed ...usually 250th or 500th... to stop action.... F stops varied... usually around F8.
