Eagles of Brackendale (Part 1)

[mikeschmeee]

Hello,

I see I have some huge competition from other wildlife photographers on here and I am no where near their level but I thought I could share my photos

I went up to Brackendale/Squamish area of British Columbia on Sunday and I came back with these. All photos were shot in the wild with my D90 and 18-200mm VR. Every photo was at 200mm f5.6 and ISO ranges from 200-400. I'm working towards my 300mm f4 lens once I get it I'll be able to get more quality photos and much closer subjects as well.


My flight photos are terrible in my opinion but like I said I'm working towards that new lens. Hopefully very soon! Let me know what you all think, I'll be more then happy to hear your comments, thoughts and critique.











The better ones...











Immature Bald Eagle...







More adult Bald Eagles...

















And near the end of my little trip I found this guy near the water right beside me as two Eagles flew away that were pecking at a dead fish right on the water...

Creeped up on this guy in a foot of snow. I was about 10 feet away I think?




As you can see... I love birds, I love wildlife and I LOVE BALD EAGLES!!!

There are many excellent shots; the cluttered surroundings are inevitable, of course; in some photos in which bird is in flight, background looked burned and disturbing the view. I think you may please avoid posting very similar ones so that a tight study of your performance would be easier.
