    Wow
    Hi William,

    Really first-rate shots you have there - beautiful subject, great lighting, nice & sharp results. Out of curiosity, where did you find the eagle(s) and what type of lens did you need to reach them?

    Cheers,
    Kevin K.

    I think I speak for all of us when I say, "HOLY CRAP!" These are more great shots of a great subject. I am happy that you got this chance to get shots like these with a 200mm zoom, and at the same time I am *SO* jealous. :)

    Fantastic work.

    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!"

    Thanks Jeff, yes indeed it was fun all the way, and I may even have a few shutter releases left.

    They have white heads and tails, isn't that the beginning of an Egret? All I need is a middle.
