Wonderful set. Especially number two. It reminded me of "Doc's Race With The Stork" by Wooster Scott.
Thank you for your very lovely comments!

Nice shots as usual. Don't move to NY. More nature here😄
And less humidity on my dry side

Awesome shots! I am also blessed to be able to watch 3 eaglet chicks in a nest not to far from my house!
Thank you, Cindy! Isn't it the most awesome experience. More than one summer I wanted to camp out so I wouldn't miss first flight :)

Great shots Linda, I especially love #1. I am sure you enjoy the light weight of the camera? I should switch as the Nikon is getting too heavy for an old man.
Thank you, Mike! Less than two pounds on this combo. Now that's not less than the bridge camera, but the nice lens, awesome clarity in the viewfinder, fast focus, on and on...I'm super happy I upgraded.
And I already bought a Panasonic Lumix in February that came with a 14-140 mm lens that is working out beautifully for all my non-critter shots. How lucky am I?!

Excellent series Linda, I think #2 is especially interesting with the train in the background 
Thank you! Wasn't that great timing? I had the camera set on continuous, so I got about 3 shots in a series as I attempted to pan with the motion (I tried the tracking feature, but eagle was too small, I think).

All very nice images, what is the equivalent of the 400mm end , like a 400 on a dx nikon , would work out to 600m. So on your camera
What would that be , so is the zuko made to have a crop factor of more than that like a 650 mm or a 700mm equivalent on your camera
Or would it be 1/4 more on 600mm , what ever that would be ?? 800m. ???, that may be what I need instead of a new lens , a small camera

Love these shots, Linda. The second is my favorite, very intriguing with the BNSF engine in the background. My eyes want to keep looking at it! 
I wonder if the engineer noticed the gorgeous eagle flying along with him?

All three shots are fantastic, Linda, but that first one is soooo excellent! Well done!

What great shots. Sure do love seeing our national bird and don't think I could ever get tired seeing them. #2 just blew my mind away. Looks like he is racing the train. The composure in all 3 is magnificent. You have also brought out all the colors. Mahalo for sharing.

The eagle and the locomotive: natural versus man-made - great commentary.

Wow! Is right! Great results and from a "new" camera. Yes. B&H for some of us is Mother Ship! Never a problem in 3 or 4 decades of shopping there.

Hi Linda, this is a really great series of shots. Enjoy your new camera.
