Was at Squaw Creek NWR, and every year they have Eagle Days and they bring in captive Eagles for show and talk about them. The room was almost dark as it is just a storage garage. My settings were SS 1/250th F4 ISO 3200 500mm. It was all my 7D could do to focuss. Thought about using my 70-200 but I was a ways back, as I was using my 500mm with tripod and flash I was trying to stay out of the way.
