Bird Pictures from Canyon of the Eagles

Here are a few of the better pictures of birds from Saturday’s trip up the Canyon of the Eagles.

This is a bald eagle. They roost there this time of year. We mostly saw juveniles, which look more like hawks because they don’t have the white heads yet. This is the best shot I could get of an adult. A 300mm lens doesn’t do it justice, but that’s all I’ve got. It looked stunning through the binoculars.

Next up we have some pelicans chilling with a flock of ducks…

And finally some seagulls who didn’t mind getting closer to me and my camera…

  1. Jessica and Scottage, Thanks. I’m glad the pictures came out well. I’ve never tried shooting wild creatures before, well, except for my cat, and I think I might have to try it again.

    dquack, I’ll have to check out your post. I’ve been meaning to check out the Llano eagles for years and I don’t know why I haven’t.
