Cool shots.

They must be pretty far away eh?

I especially like the first image. I wonder how it would look with the vertical branches cloned out. Nicely done, Jack. You've really been making me yearn for some longer glass.

The second one sure is a beauty!

Jack I am a bit envious, for the life of me I can not catch one in the open around here. I see a couple a day this time of year. They all seem to sit in a mess of branches! Got an imature yesterday, not a bad shot other than a mess of branches around him and a couple across his frontside. Uhg. lol

Good images JAck under what appears to be very difficult lighting. I like #1 and would agree with Kevin to get rid of the vertical branches coming in from the bottom. Is #1 an immature bird?

[Jack R Mann]

Try finding a cattle ranch in your area and during caving season the eagles stay pretty close to clean up the barn yard.

[Jack R Mann]

Thanks for thew idea, i will get rid of some excessive branches, and the lighting light snow and a pure white sky.

In a word WOW

800mm hand held, that's insane - great job, beautiful subject.
