Bald Eagle, Coyote & Mocking Bird....shot from one spot.

[EricD]

Went to check on my favorite Eagle nest to see if the Eaglets were hatched yet. It was hard to tell....but it did look like they were eating in the nest.
Then the Coyote strolled by me....even a little Mocking Bird wanted in on the pics!

I really like the 5th photo of the coyote.





It seems you and him are becoming friendly like...


Nice capture of the mocking bird as well - super eye capture.

We're these in the Preserve? I know there are a few Bald Eagle nests in there.

Nope. In a cemetery that borders some woods.

Hi Eric,
One more question. Do you typically use a tripod? I've tried and I absolutely hate using them.

When using my F4 lens I use tripod or monopod. I have issues withmy left elbow and it pains me to hold that lens!

Okay, just one more question! Let's just use the photos above as an example. Did you use a tripod with those?

I love that mockingbird. The way the eye was captured is amazing, very powerful.

Used a tripod for all except #7. Already had tripod in truck and was getting ready to leave when I caught him running by me, so that shot was hand held.
