Thanks Margarett, Huggergirl and Nanny.

The following photos are by far my most beloved to date. I had just received my new lens and promptly visited Conowingo Dam to see the Eagles and the following is what I got. It was a beautiful and clear blue sky day and the temperature in the mid 60s. He/she just caught a fish and perched right in front of me. I took quite a few photos as it sat there and had lunch but these are the ones that really caught my eye. Short story: A coworker brought his 2 sons to the job (I was on travel) and they saw a couple photos that I printed and hung at work. He said they could not believe anyone had seen, let alone, taken a photo of a real live Eagle in the wild so I made a print and gave each one for Xmas. They created really nice thank you cards for me...that was really cool. I just love making kids happy. I plan to make large prints of a few of these and frame them.
