Eagles - Coralville Dam

[photolizard]

I haven't been on here in ages. All my time has been taken up preparing lessons and curriculum for hybrid learning where I teach. But, this past week I took several days off for me. The eagle action in my normal haunts has been slow to nonexistent for several years. I had heard good things about this place. So, I gave it a try. I am pretty rusty and the shooting requires different technique than I was used to. But, I got enough acceptable images to make a new gallery on my Zenfolio site. Here are a few. I'll post some fishing sequence shots later.

Well done, hopefully was not crowded with photogs like other nearby areas.

Nice BIF. I like the position in 3 best.

Thanks, Wade. It wasn't too bad. There was enough room for people to spread out.

Thanks, Karen. It was much needed fun.

Thanks, Allan. I shot hundreds in my 2 outings. I had trouble picking favorites so I put 70 on my Zenfolio site!

Nice job staying on target against some difficult BGs. Not so easy to do when one is out of practice. Well done.

It took a couple of passes to ease back into things. The biggest issue was how close the action was. I am used to birds being quite a distance away. The river is quite narrow here and the 500 f/4 was too much at times. But, I didn't like the results I was getting from the 200-500.

Great shots, Aaron!
