Nesting eagle sitting on eggs (3) of them. Used a Nikon D3300 with a 55-300 vr lens.

Looks like you have a great view into the nest.
Hope you are able to the eaglets till they fly off.

Very nice; you are obviously in a unique position. You might want to get rid of the blue color cast; the photo will certainly improve.

Is this a little better? I changed the white balance a bit. Shot it threw a greyish screen on a cloudy day.

Is there anything between the lens and the bird? Are you shooting through something … like a mesh of some sort?

Try not to shoot through something if it at all possible. The fact is … you've got an opportunity to get some fabulous photos, and if the eagles are going to have an unfixable greenish/bluish tint, you're not going to get the full value of your position and the shots will never reach their full potential.

It looks like you've captured a perfect focus on the screen. Try moving your focus point past the screen to the bird.
Try using manual focus instead of autofocusing and getting the screen.
