Jim, very good shots. #3 especially captures the focus and determination of the eagle as it gets ready to go and hunt (at least that's how I see it).

Berry College in Rome, GA has had an eagle nest on the campus for 4-5 years and the birds have become celebrities in their own right. These are pictures of MA Berry who was take a break from egg duty in a tree nest to the parking lot. There were several of us shooting and she stayed on her perch for about 20 minutes. We were about 30' below and another 50 feet away. The pix were taken with a Canon 5DIII and the Sigma 150-600 using shutter priority at 1/1600, ISO auto, and f8. These images are cropped to about 20% if the original image and sharpened and noise reduced in NIK.
These are my first eagle posts and any advice on processing would be appreciated.

These are terrific shots, Jim! That was a beautiful campus back in the 60's when I use to visit there....many long years ago. I am sure it still is.
Thanks for sharing these.

Awesome clarity, Jim. I hope to get that close to an eagle, some day.

Excellent captures! The only thing I would offer is to remove some of the shadows.

Nice photo's of Ma Berry. I'm a fan of hers I watched the live feed of the nest when she was recovering from a leg or talon injury. She is an eagle with great heart and dedication - doing her job when in obvious pain.
