I have been watching these little guy's for years. Tried for years to get shot's of them and finally figured out how. Have a studio flash set in the door and use a 150-500mm lense on a digital camera. You can see a catch loght in the Junko's eye.

Never seen those guys in Minnesota so here's one of our's which I only see up in the northern half of State close to Canadian border:


                                  We call them "whiskey jacks"

They love fresh meat. Kill and drag out a deer and at some point during the drag as your sitting and resting a "whiskey jack" will show following your trail picking up any scraps.

Hope to get some visitors this winter up there. A few years ago I started putting out sunflower seeds at the cabin and have been amazed at the wildlife it brings in.

Got the 2nd digital camera now with a 12x zoom this fall and it's looking promising.

Got a story about bald Eagles. In 1994 I bought my first med format camera, a Yashica 635. Wanted to try it out so went to "Picture Gourge" to do some landscapes. Got there and found a bunch of  Bald Eagles. So got out my 35mm, Nikon FG and my longest lense at the time, a 70-210. Well that's a sorry lense for getting shot's a long way off so I didn't get much I wanted. Got home and called a brother and told him about the new camera and that I'd found the eagles and had been shooting them.

Seem's a guy down the road a ways had a scanner and listen to my conversation; I was on a cordless phone. He turned me in to the state police for shooting eagles! I got jerked out of work, had my home staked out, had the state police come here while my wife and I were gone and search the property (no warrent!) and finally they put a 24 hr survellence on me for several days befor it was over.

I don't shoot eagles anymore, I take their picture's!!!!!

I think I shall change my wording on "Shooting ????".   I will "take pictures" from now on.  That is not a funny stoy.  And I will not even address my feelings for the actions taken by your state officials.
