We Must All Take The Good With The Bad...

So, this weekend was a blend of ups and downs.  We went up-Island because the weather up there looked better than it did down here.  We found the sunshine in Courtenay along with a few dozen Bald Eagles.

While shooting in our usual places we were approached by a local man who told us to follow him and he'd show us where we could find a LOT of Eagles.  We were also able to get down to a beach there where we had great light on more Eagles than I bothered to count.

Here are a few of the more than 12 gigs of pictures that I took.

1)  This one has something to eat that he picked up off the beach.

2) Liftoff!

3) Low, close and fast.  You have to be quick for these shots!

4) He's spied something he likes!

5) Coming around again for a closer look.

6) Missed it!  They're not always successful, sometimes the seagulls get it first.

On our way home we stopped at Deep Bay and shot Grebes and Long-tailed Ducks until my card filled up again and I had to change it.  That's when it jammed, bent some pins and now my D300 is going into the shop!  Dang!
