Eagle rendezvous

When I was out this morning I saw a large group of eagles in a harvested corn field. I think they were feeding on some road kill deer that the land owner lets the DOT put in his field. This is just a guess, but you don't normally see this many eagles at one spot in SE Mn. I filled up a 8 gig memory card recording this great sight.

Interesting group image. Too much foreground for me.

I agree with Alan. Too much FG IMO and the contrast seems high on the birds. Whites are pretty bright.

Cool to get a group of eagles like this, it would have been a stronger image if you had more room on top, you could still crop some from the bottom and improve this. :toast:
