Did a little better today but it was brief and no chance for flight shots.

Not sure I need to sell my V1 to purchase a 100-400 II...

Hi Jack - glad to see that you found the nest. Your second shot is great, well done. Much better than anything I was able to capture at that site.

 

[Jack Douglas]

Thanks guys, it was a pleasure to see the eagles so close to home and then to be appreciated via photos is even better. Hope to get back there but for me, May is unavailable so once they are out of the nest it's likely very challenging since they'll be who knows where, maybe miles away.

cdn_photog, any idea how late they might still be at the nest - early June??

Hi Jack - looking through my photos I have seen them at the nest from early March to early September. And I've seen eagles along the river (near Hawrelak Park) in Edmonton in the middle of winter - can't remember which month that was but the river was frozen completely over.

The Downys are just so cute no matter how often you see them. Nice shot.

I dont normally photograph birds, but I was testing out my 7dII w/100-400 II at Disney Animal kingdom. I believe this was shot at ISO 3200.
