Oh they leave and rarely are they in the same tree and to gethem together is fantastic but to get all three is out of this world. Someone is watching over me.

Great job! We see these and we think you get them without the pain. . . but in truth we know you work for them!

Great job Gary, you have done well.

It is a labor of love at this point and I can see the end of the story as she flys off.

Thanks Dennis I have a few more tonight to post that I hope all will enjoy.

Congrats on the shot Gary!! Well done, i think you got a great exposure given the tricky light, and positions of the birds. I noticed you used f22, did you manual focus, or where did you set your focus point? Again well done, you have quite the set of photos from this family of eagles,

Thankd Dustin

Yes I used Manual and Auto focus, I used multi dot and single dot, When I used single dot I raised the F from 8, 16 and 22 and focused on the limb they are standing on. Exposure was tough where the darker bird is in shadow and the white head is in the sun. I choose to underexpose the dark and not blow the white.

Love the first shot,..

Fantastic group shots Gary. I can't remember seeing two adults and a youngin on the same branch. well done !

beautiful regal birds, great capture

Very nice, the first shot is my favourite, a perfect family moment.
