Amazing pictures of bald eagles!

A friend knows a friend of the photographer, who lives on Lake Tapps south of Seattle, and the guy who took the photos used a long lens and didn't really see the duck until he had the photos on the computer. Amazing.

Wow, that was really neat and I love the commentary too.

Super, thank you so much. I, too, enjoyed the commentary.

Very impressive story and images. Seeing them reminded me of a series of photos taken by a photographer by the name of Stan Bousson that were of two eagles "fighting" in air over a fish.

This individual took the series of 15 photos of the battle in the span of roughly three seconds or less.

Check out the pictures at this link:

(That camera capability was yet another "spur in my side" to break down and get a camera equally as capable. Thus, I now possess a Nikon D300 with an 18-200mm lens.)

Good luck with your great new camera, it's about the perfect "walk around" setup, but I think you'll find that you need a much larger lens, in the 400 - 600mm range to get these birds in the air. These fights often take place quite high up.
