While fishing yesterday near the Roberts boat ramp bridge I noticed an Eagle sitting where he usually sits, on top of a power pole over 100 yards away. This time I had my trusty Sony RX10IV camera in the truck so took some photos of him.
I also took a photo of the bridge from the boat ramp side of the river. I hope you like all of them.

The Eagle shots are great, Dennis. Especially from over 100 yards! I'm not familiar with the RX10IV. Are the photos taken with a built-in zoom?
Thanks very much Chief. Your comments are always appreciated.
My somewhat photography mentor and a retired commercial photographer suggested the Sony RX10IV after he had used one for a year or so. His words were that the lens was as sharp as almost any other and the camera would do 99% of what my other cameras would do. I bought one and have found his words are absolutely correct, for me. I add that stipulation because I don't want someone to buy one and then think I was lying if they don't like the camera.
Yes he camera has a built in zoom. The normal zoom goes from 24-600mm as measured from the point of view of a 35mm camera. But there is a button the left side of the lens that when you press the button once zooms to 800mm and then when pushed a second time goes to 1200mm. I have been told the sharpness falls off when using the 800 or 1200 zoom but if it does I have not seen it in any appreciable amount. Of course YMMV.
Almost of the photos I have submitted in the past year or so, from portraits to landscapes and including macro have been with this camera. I use the lens zoomed to 600mm for very close macro photos such as the dragonflies, spiders and so on. All are sharp when I do my part. I got mine from Bedford Camera with a great deal. Price is about $1800.00.
