At this point I don't have the equipment or the technique for some of the fantastic birds in flight shots that I've seen on the forum, so this is my alternative.

I got up at dark-thirty and drove a couple of hours to this place. Got set up just before sunrise. Shot a lot, but this early one was one of my favorites.

This is 'the flock'. The Ranger was estimating about 200,000 of them: Snow Geese. They were being 'thinned out' by 70-80 bald eagles that would occasionally dive in to find the slowest or the weakest of the bunch. Later in the day, driving around, I found the 'feasting table' for the eagles, a bare spot in the marsh about a mile away where there were a 20 or so adults and juveniles planning their next meal. Of course, that spot was about 1/4 - 1/2 mile inside the marsh so photos were not good with my short lenses.
