Unfortunately, the zoo had them in a cage where chicken wire was all around. But, I'm still pleased with the shot:

    Thanks!! It was really tough focussing with the "bars" in front of him... but, I managed to get this one in.

    I am really loving my 70-200 f/4 lens :)

    Nice shot ...I got one at the Indy zoo but the wire was 10 feet away from me and I couldn't shoot thru the gaps, I just had to clone it out

    Hey Toine,

    Thats a good shot. Its not easy to shoot in a zoo. I'm lucky because we have them in the wild down here.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thank you, Harry!

    Supposedly, there are some Bald Eagles in New Jersey too, I just have to find out where. And, I think my measly 70-200 f/4 lens is not going to be enough in the wild :(
