I went on an eagle outing for a couple of days, snapped over 2000 pictures. Here are a few that I liked :)

Here are some juvenile bald eagles. All of the photos were taken with a 6DII and 100-400LII.

And finally, this composite.

It was a lucky fluke: AF caught the eagle with an out of focus moon, and after he flew out of the frame, AF grabbed the moon right behind him and took a couple more shots. I combined the two so that the moon and the eagle are both in focus :)

Oh sure, humans are smarter than birds. But birds don't have to care about gravity. You never see a bird falling down a flight of stairs.
Whaaaaat? You shot a flying Pelican super sharp! Arthur Morris sold all his Canon equipment and switched to Nikon because he could not shoot flying Pelicans among others! ;D
I wonder how he will feel if he sees your Pelican shot ;D

@Click - Thanks!

Here are a few more from the outing. It was a crisp winter day, which really cuts down on the haze, plus some snow on the ground, which helped reflect light upwards.

I was in Vagas a decade ago and there was a curbside bird show. I asked bird handled how did he prevent the birds pooping during the show. He said it was 20 minutes, too!

My African Grey can hardly last 10 minutes and sometimes he doesn't squat! :(

I don't have patience, I'm just too lazy to move.

Another good one of a redpoll!
