The Bald Eagles were having a whale of a time shooting fish in a barrel near the lock and dams over by Galesburg, Illinois back in the winter of 2016. Probably the same this past week with temps back under freezing. The river freezes up and all the eagles concentrate below the dams which keep the river free of ice and allows them easy fishing in the open waters. Makes for some good shots. Caught this guy heading back to shore for a bite. Shot with my old Nikon D810 and my 150-600 lens. Eagles don't fly all the fast so got the shot at only 1/800 of a second. Wings are still blurry, so should have bumped up the shutter speed but it works. There is always room for improvement.
