Check his work out at- https://www.facebook.com/LifeintheNorthwoods/?fref=ts I put my camera on a tripod and had 10 seconds to get in the photo. Photo stats. Canon 5D Mark III with a 17-35mm wide angle zoom lens. ISO 100, 1/10 of a sec., F/S 16. Very nice photo! These are selfies that are worth looking at. Nice camera and lens, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do but 2nd year in a row the eggs never hatched or "something" got to them. Mom and dad cruise by our dock quite often. Love them. I have an eagle nest 40' up 20 yards from the cottage. Spectacular watching them come in for a landing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had an Eagle fly over here a few days ago. There's a few around here, but we had a lot more where I lived in NH. Here's a pic of a pair that were in a tree in our front yard in NH. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we have 6 or better just around our little 220 acre lake. I'll see if I can grab one when they are coming in hot but it will be with a cell phone... Stand by a day or so. FWIW, almost had a 2-3 year old (guess) black bear in the trucks front end 2.5 hours ago while doing 60. That would have sucked and thankfully he changed direction and went back towards the woods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to the pic Nicole and I were just sitting out on the deck listening to the Loons. We are in between 2 lakes and are lucky to hear them from both lakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 We only see the one loon for the most part so it seems then in the fall the whole family is out there. It's an amazing sight watching them what looks like a fishing frenzy and the sounds they make are incredible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 The drone flight didn't go all that well. It's been so long since I've used it that it took forever to get all of the settings right. By the time I had everything figured out there wasn't much battery left. I'll try again as soon as my spare battery is done charging.
