100-400mm telephoto


When ~Nebraskies made a trip to Squaw Creek NWR, there was a snowgoose population of about 200,000. Additionally, there were over 200 eagles there. Every so often, an eagle would fly too close to the flock on the ice and they would scatter into the air, flying in a vortex-like formation. Since they were fairly close to the edge of the frozen lake (and Chris let me borrow the 100-400), I was able to fill the frame with the chaos ;)

Please tell me what you think! :dance:

That is awesome! I'll bet those Eagles were after them. The Hunt with David Attenborough for the win. :)
