    Nice shot, I think I like your Eagle better than Harry's Champion.

    You might be interested in my reply to Harry, since it concerns you too.

    Hi Gale! Remember me, I'm the one with the flat tire on the rental car at Merritt Island 3 this year. Nice to see you posting here. Spectacular shot!

    That last photo is great! I love what the tree adds to the picture. I really like the eagle in a tree much better than the eagle on a stick.

    A cross eyed eagle!!!?????

    Now, I love that shot,rolleyes1.gif .

    what size lens were you using last year?

    was there an extender on Harry's 500?

    See, I have a Cooper's hawk at about that distance and my 400 doesn't pick up many pixels.

    I may be under exposing, etc. But I really don't get much at that distance, I think the Cooper's may be smaller, am not sure. Also, I have to be shooting into the sun, there is no other way at sunrise.

    Oh, last time I had a 1 1/4 extender on mine.

    I got a good landscape, but "no" bird, smile.

    love the eagle shots, but the cross eyed one is wonderful!

    Gee Ginger, it's too bad we live on opposite sides of the country, if we we lived near each other we go out on a shoot together . . . and not get any bird photos.
