With this camera/lens combination I would normally use a shutter speed of 1/1200 to 1/1500 sec and also would have to increase the ISO.

Sorry Hsch39, I see nothing different from herons to eagles. It appears your camera doesn't see any differences. Share with us please as to what you see as different, big birds is big birds?

Many photographers would have missed this shot for fiddling with settings. You did exactly what you and every photographer should do under these circumstances, get the shot! I have many that don't work out but, hey, welcome to the world of photography. Glad it worked out for you.

I was taking photos of a Heron and Egret in the lagoon at the Chicago Botanic Garden when this Bald Eagle showed up. I had no time to change any settings.
