Looking just like fighter jets these two American Bald Eagles are doing their best "in formation" flying near Davenport, Illinois along the Mississippi River. I was there back in 2016 to see the Eagles as they gather along the river near the locks and damns, which serve to keep the river in those sections from freezing up. Great place to see numerous eagles feeding all at once. Might be worth another visit this weekend. It is cold enough, that is for sure. This was taken with a 300mm lens and a 24 megapixel camera. Shooting birds is all about reach. You need to get up close and personal and the birds are small, relatively speaking and far away. I would love to try to shoot these birds with my 600mm lens and at 45 megapixel camera. Might have to do that!!!
