Though I have had some good results with the 2x digital zoom of my new Olympus EM10 MarkII, these are edits from raw (cropping done in pp, rather than in-camera). I was able to pull details from the harsh light and shadows more successfully. It was only 9 a.m., but that's life in July at the 47th parallel

#1 is a crop of #2. Olympus 75-300 mm lens at 285 mm lens x2 for crop sensor factor = 570 mm angle of view. Nice to be level with the nest, but it's still quite a distance away.

For those of you who have shared the stories of the new families with me in previous seasons, this is summer number 5...how time flies! Thanks so much.

This has been a wonderfully nurturing place, for all of us including your beautiful subjects. They are making a good living there and we all benefit. These are good Linda, the Oly is working for you!

Terrific shots. Four in one frame! That is an accomplishment. I love that gnarly nest too. Gary

Thank you, Phil! I am enjoying the camera tremendously. These eagles' diets are supplemented by the local guys who toss frozen fish in the river to get their "action" shots, lol.

Thanks so much for commenting, Gary! I was able to catch both parents in the nest because they had each just brought home a fish, thanks to the local guys who toss frozen fish in the river to get their "action" shots, lol. All the birds had eaten and were sitting there lazy, fat and happy

The eaglets have not fledged yet, but they will soon.
