Its head just disappears into that far wing! That’s a nice little happenstance.

500mm so on a tripod I would assume......This is outstanding. Sharpness and clarity like that. I have one Eagle shot that was rushed. It turned out to be one of my best selling images but I look at it and all I see is flaws, mine that is....... This image is perfect......Have you considered sending it to the Audobon Society? (if I spelled that right)

You can always pick out the bird photographers, because their left arm is twice the size of their right arm from holding a 600mm lens while tracking the flight of a bird...

Handheld. I rarely use a tri or monopod though I just purchased the 60-600 Sigma Sport and will likely start using a monopod. I refuse to have anything to do with Audubon as I joined them and they sold my information to everybody on the face of the earth wanting money for whatever cause. They'll never see another nickel or anything from me again.
