Flaring with Flair


	Flaring with Flair I managed to get quite close to some eagles that were feeding on salmon that were stranded as the tide ran out. This is the first of a number of good photos that I got. Gary H. Minish

Thank you very much, Carolyn. I'm still shooting with the old Sony so I don't get much opportunity for wildlife close-ups. This was a real break for me, especially that they were hungry enough to not care much how close I was.

Thank you for commenting. This is actually the second eagle that came in close to me to get the stranded salmon. I like the shot I got of the first one better because the seagulls that were gathered around the fish exploded as the eagle flared in for the landing. I got the eagle landing and the seagulls scrambling in one shot. I'll be posting that one probably in a couple days.
