Trying to mix things up and find something to post I was looking through my files of photos I had already played with and I found these three from my January trip to the Conowingo. The first photograph may be the best flying eagle photo I have taken to date. The next two are not that good but the subject was fantastic to see. These two mature eagles were fishing when they decided to go at it very briefly for some reason. I included the original shot to give you an idea of what I was working with. It was an overcast day and I was using the D300 with the 70-200 F2.8 with the 1.4 tele attached. At full zoom with the conversion for the sensor size this photo was taken at 420 mm. In order to try and make a print the other photo was cropped tightly. The bad part is that is is not very sharp at that distance. Hopefully the new lens will make a big difference in the future with shots like this. It was fun to watch.

I really like the first shot. The wing spans on these raptors are awesome. Brad, send an email so I can get your address. I'll respond with what's scheduled at SNP for '10.
Great shots of the birds. I just wish I could get this type of bird at my back yard feeders.
