This is a very good shoot and you got a few unnecessary suggestions...

Very nice shot, but the important thing is not your photo but the welfare of the eagles (including stress you may impose), the eggs and later the chicks. With your 300mm lens and accounting for camera crop and your cropping, the photo is approximately equal to 600mm (35mm format equivalent). Therefore, I suspect your within 50 feet of the nest. I don't know the regulations in Iowa, but that seems awfully close to a wild eagle's nest. Certainly, don't remove the mesh! Please correct anything I've said if I'm in error.

Very nice shot, but the important thing is not you... (show quote)


It's done in a observation deck that professionals watch over all the Decorah eagles. OK!

Looks like the background from the Decorah eagles website. Where did you get this picture?

Sounds good to me. Wasn't clear when you said blind, because there are blinds and there are blinds. Thanks for the clarification. Anyway, good luck and looking forward to some fantastic photos of eaglets.
