Recently hatched eaglet. Still hoping there are more eggs in the nest...
Tom, so true...how many times do you get an opportunity like this...perfect sky...camera set...correct angle...all lucky factors...as anyone who does any BIF images...luck is the fourth leg after S/A/I...thanks, Dave
Heavily cropped from images posted last week...
The adults chased the juvie away...
This juvenile was chased by both parents to emphasize he was not welcome near their nest...
Yes. And keep coming back to the Sigma 150-600. Thank you.
I appreciate your kind and quick response...I will stay the course for now...
Looking for advise from all the Hogs. Current equipment base is a Nikon D750 and Nikon D500. Lots of lens ranges to accompany. As I age, I find it harder and harder to shoot BIF for long periods of time with longer lenses. I have used a gimble but am not totally happy with that solution. Am now thinking of changing to a Nikon D850 or a Nikon Z series (probably a Z8). Is there a significant weight tradeoff by going mirrorless and am I trading other benefits by moving from DSLR to Mirrorless format. I know that is the future direction (Nikon just discontinued the D500) but wonder if the 850 will give me more benefits than the Z series. Am not doing any video work, just still imagery.
