I had a chance to go to the eagle feeding over in Homer Alaska with dphillips81 and bsmith. I had a chance to get up close and personal to some very wild eagles; and I am very happy with the results. I was able to use each lens in my aresenal. These are just a few of the of the ones that I have edited so far. I managed to take several shots that I hope I can stitch into a panoramic for you later!

I hope you enjoy them!:)

Nice!! I really like the one with them shoulder to shoulder on the single pole. I wish i would have had something shorter than the 400, i never thought i would say that.

Very nice John. The black and white is very cool but #4 really does it for me.

Thanks! Unfortunately the feedings will only last a few more months :(
But Homer is defintely the place to go on the Kenai Penninsula to view eagles.

I am looking into printing one out at a decent size. It's just so hard to make a decision!

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone!
