Convocation of Eagles

A couple weeks ago, one of my Facebook friends texted me there had been a convocation of eagles near Gunder, IA for the last couple days and that they were still there today. I had to look up the word for a flock of eagles as I had never ever seen them gathered together in large groups.

 

When I arrived, I viewed 60 to 70 eagles all gathered together in th middle of a picked corn field. I took some photos from where I was. There was no cover to sneak up on them. Nor would they suffer to let me get even a few feet closer.I'm going to post just a few of the shots I took. Not because they are among my best eagle photos but because I had never seen a gathering like this before. I did follow them South for a few miles and got some additional shots.

 

They were so spread out, over the large field, that this was about the best I could do to show the numbers with a 400mm prime lens.

 

 

Thanks in advance for any favs or comments you may choose to leave.
