While I love taking pictures of wildlife, I'm not a true birder, so not sure. Originally thought it was a redtail hawk, looks like it possibly is? I think this one shows the bird clearer, but the background was a bit less interesting

Snappy, I too am not much of a birder, only a photographer. My friend is big into birds though and he also said it was a northern harrier. "You can tell by the white stripe at the base of the tail"

sorry "looks like it possibly is" was meant as an agreement on the Northern Harrier. A quick google shows a lot of pics that look almost identical.

Nice picture.
AlanF said:Down under using the 5DSR and 100-400mm II. I find the combo very good for BIF, despite the 5DSR having the reputation of some shutter lag. It tracks very well indeed and the AF is very fast and accurate, and I get a very high proportion of keepers. Every one in a series of a Little Black Cormorant taking off, a Sulphurcrested Cockatoo flying past and a gull zooming past were sharp.

Not as good as shots by a lot you the contributors here.

lion rock said:True, it is ONLY more than 2700 miles (4300 km) to Vancouver for me. Nothing to write home about 8).
Another factor was that it was not a pleasure trip for me this time, much of which was with family members who congregated together for a somber service.
Did hear of other locations that have more concentration of eagles, particularly near the dump and harbour, I didn't want to drag the rest of the group to those places (as much as I want to.)
Near the James River, Virginia, early February is best for eagles, though cold. By March, they have gone into nesting and less visible.
