Thank you all ......

Janet, I have enough cold weather gear but anytime that you are out in the extreme cold and wind, all day, it takes its toll.

I'm trying to figure out the correct metering mode for an adult Bald Eagle. I usually use Spot metering but the white head is a small part of the eagle. If the camera focuses on the dark body then the white head sort of washes out. Sometimes you just can't win.

Kathy, talking to informed personnel in the field further validates that a picture is indeed worth a thousand words. I just can't get enough knowledge.

Here's a few photos of an adult flying at below or near eye level.
