The only Eagle I got close to at Campobello Island, NB Canada last week - shot w/ the 500mm f4 on a BushHawk - Saw several Eagles daily but at a distance. c/c welcomed - Bob Malbon

This is my favorite because of the OOF Spruce limbs adding texture and mood.

Wow! Those are amazing photos. I agree, there is something, particularly, special about the last one. Great, great job.

I like the entire body shot in #3.really shows the size of an eagle!

Really killer stuff here! Nicely done man!

[Stephen Stephen]

Very nice shots here Bob. I really miss Campobello and the rest of the Passamaquaoody Bay islands.

[Goshawk]

Really nice shots, amazing how much the feathers can bend in flight.

Nice series here and I would love such an opportunity. The few times I have seen one around here, they are so far up that binoculars are usualy the only way to tell what they are.

The third one may not be the best of the bunch but it gives the best impression of just how big these birds really are - wow!

I like number #4 as well. I love to see some structure around the birds.

Very nice shots... BTW how does the 500 hold up on the bushhawk??

[jdizzle]

Great shots!

Great series

[StarDog]

Thanks to all for the comments. Brandon the 500 is about all I could deal with on the BH. One good thing is that it keeps me in shape pumping L Glass. When I get older I will get a gimbal head for my walker! - Bob
