No Eagles at the golf course - plenty at the dam.

Nice captures, what lens did you use and how close where your?
The Eagles were 50-75 feet up in the trees. I was using a 55-300 kit lens on a Nikon d5200. I had to do some cropping to get these to look like this. I don't think they came out to bad for a mid level digital. Can't really afford to buy high end glass. Thanks for the comments.

Billy,
I don't think the lens is lacking anything. All digital images need a little post processing. A little sharpening, a a small boost in contrast is not uncommon.
What you captured, and did very well, are eagles in their natural environment.

These pictures were taken below the Conowingo Dam in Harford county Maryland. Because of the abundance of fish and natural breeding environment there are dozens of Eagles, Falcons and Hawks that frequent the area. There is a park along the river and the Eagles will land in the trees along the walkways or do there fishing just below the dam. On any given weekend it is easy to find hundreds of photographers in the park. The Eagles are very cooperative.
