So super proud of Miss Shelby on completing her Bachelor of Arts from Culver Stockton College. She made the honor roll all four years while playing college softball!

Here are just a few of my favorite captures from her special day. It was an honor to be asked to photograph and help document it.

The entire photo session can be seen HERE: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/efazqw34xe7aeofnxo407/ACvrFj2pMs2faxDw-YU1fFg?rlkey=phed7rfoifyjuf6ui2nni7bfd&st=qcvsmute&dl=0

Jack and Audry went on their first date on May 1st, 2022. Four years later, Jack proposed on May 1st, 2026. Their wedding date is set for May 1st 2027. May 1st is their special date!

I had the distinct honor of being asked to capture their engagement session. It was very cool to be asked to capture their engagement. One session where I actually felt pressure and nervous.

*** Which color Ghost? ***

1) Great Gray Owl
2) Great Horned Owl
3) Snowy Owl
4) Barred Owl

I used to have a favorite owl, but now it is whichever one that happens in front of my lens! I think I know which one will get the most love, but I could be wrong.

*** Chimping ***

When photographers capture a fishing pass you can watch them chimp up and down the firing line. Did I get it, did I blow out the whites?

I believe that Eagles also Chimp; but for 2 totally different reasons.
1) Do I have enough hold on the catch to survive a battle?
2) If fish is smaller they check the size to see if they can eat whole in the air without have to land back in the tree. I see this more with smaller thread-fin shad than with the larger gizzard shad witch then tend to prefer.

Google states that the Eagles are only successful at catching a fish 60% of the time. I' saying that is way low on the Iowa River. I'd guess more like 85%.

Couple of the 1 talon grabs!

While editing I ran across this one. I thought it had a bad eye, but I looked it up.

From the Web "Eagles possess a transparent third inner eyelid called a "nictitating membrane", which acts as a protective, lubricating, and cleaning layer that swipes horizontally across the eye from the inner corner. This membrane protects the eye from wind, dust, and debris while allowing the eagle to maintain vision during flight or while feeding."

I guess shooting 30 frames per second I finally documented it!

Tailwater's West was good this morning and then once again they shut the flow rate way down, so I decided I'll setup for the cookout and light the SoloStove. It was really nice to put some names to faces and met so many members from here. Now, if I can remember their names!

A few from today! Sunday 2/1/26

I had several people ask how to tell how old the Juvenile Eagles are. Here are some reference photos of all 5 stages of them maturing. The age is under each photo in the description. I haven't seen many mud heads (3.5) year old Eagles this year.

Hope this helps, Life is good and I am blessed!
