Thanks everyone for looking. Hope everyone enjoys. I know I did.
The camera, lens and settings were:
Nikon D7000
Sigma 150- 500 mm
Settings were f8, 1/2000 sec, ISO on auto
gotta love that Sigma...
All shots were hand held at 100 yards

I can't even get a good eagle in flight shot! Those are wonderful! These pictures are the kind I dream about capturing!
Sat in an eagle nesting area for 6 hours the other day! Saw them everywhere, but not once were they within shooting distance. Oh not quite true, watched one coming in close, got a ok shot as he approached, at the last moment he made a quick turn to the east, behind the tallest trees in the reserve,& sat directly behind the main branch of the tree.
I couldn't even walk to a different spot as he was across the river. Very frustrating. Thanks for posting, even though I am frustrated, they motivated me to keep at it!
