Today, I used my new Nikon Laser Range Finder to accurately measure this Bald Eagle. It measures in yards or meters from 5 yards to 550 yards. This photo was cropped. I used the 600mm setting on my Tamron 150-600mm lens.
The sky was partly sunny with a little fog.

Canon 6D - Tamron 150-600mm - 1/320 - f/7.1 - ISO @ 640

Another stunning capture, Regis. What was the measurement on your range finder?

Thank you, Amy. It was 41 yards on my new Nikon Laser Range Finder and I check it's accuracy by measuring my property from fence to fence. It only measures in yards and meters. It measures from 5 yards to 550 yards.

Thank you, Ol' Frank. I bought a new Nikon (Aculon) Laser Rangefinder which takes a measurement from 5 to 550 yards in yards or meters.
It's Amazon's top seller at $149. I measured my property from fence to fence to check out the accuracy first before I took it out in the field. It's 3.5"x2.5"x1.5" in size. One button operation turns it on and the same button gives the measurement quickly.

Thank you, Treepusher. Fortunately the Eagle didn't move for awhile. There was a lot of professional looking photographers there shooting this Eagle.

Thank you, Amy. I appreciate your gracious comment. I just didn't want to guess the distance anymore because a lot of people ask me how far away is it?
