Unfortunately, the Bald Eagles are gone now. They come here between November 15 to early January to feast on our spawning salmon. So, in April, I will be photographing the Osprey catching fish.
Thank you very much, Swamp-Cork.

I'm amazed at such quality at 1000 ISO. I'm curious at how one can get such a shot Hand Held with a 600mm lens? Would you share with me on just how I can possibly duplicate such quality.
I use a D500 and have a Sigma 150-600 (sport). I haven't been close enough to a Bald Eagle but regardless I'm impressed with your photo as well as the feedback from others on UHH. Could it be the equipment differences also? I haven't used a Canon in years. Thanks

Remember, it's a Canon 300mm 2.8 II prime lens (5.19 lbs.) times a Canon 2x III extender plus a Canon 5Dsr (50.6 MP) camera. So, 300mm times 2x extender = 600mm. Total weight = about 8 lbs. A regular 2 year old Canon 600mm prime lens weighs about 8.6 lbs add another 2.5-3 lbs. for the camera and extender and this will = about 11 to 11.5 lbs. This version would be very heavy to hand hold for me at 76. The Canon 300mm 2.8 II is rated the sharpest Canon prime lens that one can buy today. Couple this lens with the Canon 5Dsr (50.6 MP) and the 2x extender and you will get an extremely sharp image. Sharper than the Canon 400 2.8 II, Canon 500 f/4, Canon 600 f/4 lenses. See my photo combo below.
