Some more shots from yesterday (last year!) in Yakumo.................
As you can see it was snowing. Again.
There were lots of eagles but in the blizzards it was a bit tricky to get clear shots. I wanted to get some feeding shots but didn't really succeed.............these were the best I could manage.
Most looked like this..................or worse.
This Stellers was very obliging..............and amazingly didn't fly off even after I got out of the car.
Not really a day for BIFs but I fired off a few.
This female Merlin was in the same tree as an adult Stellers....................eagles are easy to photograph in flight but I just couldn't focus on this speedy small bird in the white snowy skies............
It my be a week or 10 days until I get to Yakumo again, hoefully it'll be with blue clear skies next time.
It looks cold! I'll look at it again next week when the forecast is maybe 40C! Very nice series.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, it may be 50 degrees cooler here then..............
