Took these yesterday around 5pm. After seeing some of Bubble's Bolsa Chica photos, i wanted to see if I could capture something similar. Here's my attempts.

These were taken using my 50d + 100-400 f4-5.6L.
mode: av
ISO 250, with varying shutter speeds.

Post processing includes using landscape settings, some cropping here and there. I also did some brightness and contrast adjustments

Bit dissapointed though. I saw chica it the title and expected to see some NSFW goodness

 

excellent work. You might want to check out El Dorado park in long beach. There is ONE bald eagle there now.
