Bald Eagles at Lock and Dam 14


I live about 12 miles from the Mississippi River and this time of year bald eagles migrate into the area.  About 30 miles to the south, near LeClaire, Iowa is a spot where the eagles fish very close to the viewing area and is a hot spot for photographers.  If you're a History Channel fan you will also recognize LeClaire as the home of the American Pickers.

      I'm shooting with a Canon 400mm/5.6
      I"m not a good judge of distances but I can tell you the top photo is not cropped at all. My camera has a 1.3x crop factor so it's the equivalent of a 520mm lens on a full frame sensor camera.
