Great shots. They sure do make some big nests.

Maybe they know more about the climate changes then we do. Both parents were at the nest, it will be interesting to see what happens next.

Nice shots, Jan. Sometimes I, too, attempt to overextend my 55-300mm lens when I could simply go to my SX50. Keep us posted on their progress.

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Hi Jan these are awesome images are they from Bald Eagle State Park. Again showing your mastery of shooting these eagles, I,m in awe!

Great set of images Jan. if you were to lighten up #10 a bit (if the ISO and the crop can take it) it could easily be one of the best eagle shots I've seen.
Like them a lot just the way they are though.

Balbir

Great timing, lovely close-up well focused excellent shots

Thanks Lorima...glad you liked the shots! If you've seen how big those Baby Eaglets get...I sometimes wonder how it holds them all ;-)
