Stan, Love that moon photo! The composition is unusual with the moon in the lower right and the birds flying down to it. Looks like you had good fun taking the long lens out for a bit of exercise. I sure wish the shots of the eagles taking the snow goose had worked out. I didn't know they would try something that size. Regards, Bob S.
