Congratulations to louie champan for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 16 votes - View Previous Winners


I went out on this morning with the intentions of shooting Short-eared Owls, but my attention was quickly captured by the eagle activity out in an adjacent field. When there is food around it becomes a feeding frenzy with the eagles. So, for the next hour or so my attention was toward capturing some of the action I was witnessing. I never could figure out exactly what it was they were feeding on.

Wonderful action set Louie. Looks like there was a slab of meat to fight over.

Thanks for taking a look Jim. I don't know exactly what the eagle had in its talons, it looked like some sort of pieces of meat.

A great set of images Louie, it’s like you reside in a wildlife refuge. It seems that is a great combo, 600f4 +1.4 TC and the new 300f2.8 +2xTC for a great handhold option.

Terrific action images!
Looks like the 300+2x works well for fast action.

That first shot tells the whole story Louie and the darker backgrounds really make these standout. Excellent work !

Super cool action set! I find the different beak shapes interesting, like the blunter, more squared off mature eagle left side in 3, and the damaged and healed funny one on right in 5, you know there had to be a story there. So much going on and so much to see! Fun stuff.
