I like the idea and light and wish for more bill/wing separation. It needs a bit CW rotation.

Hi Jack,
Great light. I agree could be rotated just a bit. An interesting community shot. I see you are from Clinton, CT. I grew up in Essex just down the street. Not sure how the birding is up there as I started since moving here to Florida.

Re:Birding in Clinton
during the winter the Eagles still come down the river to the areas between Haddam and Essex owing to the progress of
the ice. Hammonasset State Park on the Madison/Clinton border is a great spot for birding, particularly during the
spring & fall migration. It ought to be good soon, but we have had a lower than normal temperature spell.
