Thanks Eric, these are excellent photos of a great American Symbol!

#1 is my favorite, because there is less shadowing, shame you can't control the sun.

P.S. How do you know it's a male, did you peak?

I can tell it's a male because I saw the uncropped version. Eric cropped out the clothes shop on the left of the frame where the male is sitting waiting on his girl to come out of the shop :greenpbl:

LOL...I know its the Male because i have been watching this pair for 2 seasons. The Male is smaller and is missing a talon on his left foot (can't see in these photos..but can in previous posts).

You wouldn't believe how close I can get to these 2 :mrgreen:

Birds don't like Nikon :mrgreen:

Just kidding, he's been there 2 seasons, they probably know him.

Nice Eagle shots. With that lens and the D300 your at 600mm am I right?...No, because I see you've got an extender in the mix, I see now 550mm
