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!"

    thumb.gifclap.gif You know you really suck...right? :D Most excellent, Harry. You can PM me the directions to this eagle, please. :uhoh rolleyes1.gif I have not had time to go out and find some for myself. There are suppose to be around 80 eagle's nests in Sarasota & Manatee county. So...where are they hiding. :cry

    Nice, they come pretty close. When I shoot em, they're usually specs in the viewfinder. Nice work, Harry.

    Uncropped?! I wish I could get close enough to fill the frame. Living the (600mm) dream:D !

    Very nice shots Harry, I really enjoy your stuff.
    Always lurking, sometimes participating. :D

    Thanks PF. The eagles didn't charge any fish for this session. They got their kicks watching me climb up and down those damn hills.

    Thank Rich. I get em closer to me because I'm a nice guy, you're just evil. rolleyes1.gif

    Also carrying around the roadkill amardillos you find on the road in the trunk of your car as bait helps too. :D

    Thanks Awais. Eagles are known for their keen eyesight but I don't know exactly how far they can see.

    Hey Ian,

    Thanks. The 300mm F/4 and the 1.4 are an outstanding match and one of my favorite shoting combos. I tried the 1.7 on the lens and wasn't happy (slowed it dwon too much for my taste).

    Thanks for pointing that out Steve. I have another shot with all of the tail that I will replace for this shot.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    That last one is Tops Harry.

    I have discovered a local eagle nest in a beautiful sycamore tree that I pass on the way to work.

    When the days get a little longer I plan on stopping to see if I can get any nice shots. Right now it is getting dark when I drive by.

    Thanks. This was the only time I have ever got so close to an eagle. We just had favorable conditions and a favorable setting to approach them.
