Sadie number 2 is a young and full of energy little Beagle that came by and visited with a few of us that were taking pictures at White Rock Lake on Friday. She was with her owner, a skateboarder, who was letting her run around (and kicking up dirt!) to check out all of the ducks and geese that were everywhere. She was a really beautiful dog, I'd love to have her.
Shot in Dallas, Texas.

This pair of Shovelers came flying in really fast, and sneaky, they seem to be way more spooked by people than almost any other duck.

This pretty little duck has been hanging around (from what I'm told) at Sunset Bay for awhile now, in the mornings, she is closer to the dam, and evening's are at Sunset Bay. She was a good distance from me, and preening, she took a break for me though, which was extremely nice of her. :) (She was at this spot at Noon though, so she has a variable schedule, I guess)
Taken at White Rock Lake in Dallas.

This (female) Bald Eagle was spotted flying in with my binoculars first, then photographed at White Rock Lake in Dallas, Texas. With my bare eyes I could barely make out what it was. It's been seen many times by others, and from what has been said, there are actually two that live there, and possibly, more than likely, they are nesting nearby at an undisclosed area.
Anyway, I went there to see if I could see it, and after looking for around 4 hours, all of a sudden it flew into sight with its catch, what appeared to be a large Crappie. Since this was shot at approximately 650 feet away, (according to Google Maps measurements) this is only what I feel is a pretty good documentary shot, I don't see it as a really good shot on its own. (I wish I could get closer though!) It had just finished eating the fish, then went and got a drink of water and cleaned its beak off, hence the really shiny beak.
Eagles for a lot of you that live up North may not be that big of a thing as it might be down here, but we rarely see these. There are people that never look up, so will never see one, but even those that do, may never see one, that's how rare they are here.
I was really excited to see this one, but hopefully I will get the chance to get an even closer shot this Winter, I go there quite a bit when all of the ducks, Pelicans, and God only knows what else a cold front will bring down our way. :)
Shot using my 7D mk11 and the Tamron 150-600mm also used was a Kenko 1.4 extender. A Canon 1.4 extender will NOT fit on this lens due to an inner lens protrusion, too bad too...
REALLY? This made it into EXPLORE? This is nowhere near as good as what I see on flickr at any time. Strange... That's robots for you... :)
