Went to Conowingo Dam for a few hours on Friday. While it's still too early in the season for much eagle activity, it was too beautiful of a day here in Maryland not to go out and enjoy it.

This is a Northern Shrike, photographed this morning. The guy shouldn't be this far south, he's about 400-800 miles further south than he should be. About 20 minutes from my house.

Just a hand-held Canon 7D Mark II with a Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens.

I got there at 12:30 last Thursday and the amount of activity was nuts. I went skydiving with some friends from work (just a tandem "bucket list" jump) and when I realized the airport was only 15 minutes from the dam, decided to stop by for a quick visit before heading home.. There were eagles -- and photographers -- everywhere with lots of fishing events and a few chases. But this was the only tug-of-war I saw during the 90 minutes I was there.

I haven't been yet, just haven't found the time. But if you plan to go on weekend, get your ass there before sunrise. From what I heard, people are renting busing to get groups there.

The composition of this photo really sucks, but this is the most amazing moth I have ever seen. There is no way in hell you would ever find him sitting on a tree unless you saw him land.

Jeff, what do you use to process your images? Photoshop? Lightroom? Topaz plug-ins? Your photos are always amazing brilliant and tack sharp. One day I hope my photos are half as good as yours.

Thank you very much! I pretty much just use Camera Raw. Sometimes I will use Topaz Clarity. The above image was pretty much out of camera, tweaking in ACR and cropped for a better comp.
