Young Bald Eagle

So, this young Bald Eagle was taking a break from hunting. I must admit, without this lens, the new 150-500, I would not have been able to get this image. The eagle was a good 150 yards away and the image is heavily cropped, but it works.

Funny, my brother and I were out taking photos and at this area we were alone for quite a while. Coincidentally, just before the eagle shows up so did about 6 other cars, cameras ready. Someone calls out "It's an eagle" and we all turn and do our best to capture him. Soon after all others were gone and we were left shooing scenic shots of the lake. (I'll post one soon of the lake.)

    Great shots, Perry! I love the raptors. Do you like your 150-500 lens? Is it the Sigma?

    Nice captures. I have the sigma 150-500, and think it's great. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

    At least you got in a couple of shots before he was gone. Sometimes it is just great to see them.
