single photos Visitor in our yard

We had some of the lower branches removed from some evergreens in

our yard. The next day, this eagle spend 15 minutes on a perch the

arborist had left.

This is essentially a grab shot from an upstairs window, but I've

now got my 70-200mm with a 1.4X TC on a tripod and trained on the

branch in case he comes back.

I've never done bird photography, but after this I can sure see why

people find it so challenging and enjoyable.

Comments and suggestions appreciated.

I find the low ratings here really surprising, to say the least. This is a catch of a lifetime. I have rowed miles in lakes in Florida and gone to known eagle nests, and still have come away empty-handed, even though I did get to see the birds.

This is good, Brent. I know you probably could do without the scars on the trees, but, without cutting away the limbs, you never would have had this opportunity.
