These are really nice. We do see many eagles here in Maine, but not so easy to photograph, for they are always on the move. My husband and I hike Maines mountains. We seldom see any wildlife.

I was lucky to find them in their nest. One young one can just be seen in the shadow to the left of the tree.

Very nice photos, well done. There are actually two chicks in the photo. In the bottom photo, the one you mentioned and one just to the left of the parent but lower in the nest.

Lucky you to have them so close to home. Maybe eventually they will make their way down here to us in Central Mi.
Nice shots.
Nice shots.

Jack, great photos, I also have a 510, great camera, someday hopefully that long lens. What do you think of it?

Excellent! I have an abandoned eagle's next in one of my trees. Wish I had been living here when they were still using the nest.

I moved up to an E30-- much better, and that 70-300 lens is on sale now for $350.
