Sushi-loving Bald Eagles

Hi All,

Due to the cold weather we've had for months, the Cedar River is frozen over for the most part. An exception is just downstream of a dam by downtown Cedar Rapids. A group of Bald Eagles hangs around this patch of water for feeding opportunities.

The first picture is from the Canon T4i showing the general area:

The next is from the the Kodak Z990, heavily cropped.

The rest are also from the T4i with the 18-135mm lens, most also heavily cropped. The Z990 has greater reach, but is too slow for flying eagles.  A 55-250 mm lens would have helped; it is in my plans.

Thanks for looking.
