Eagle in the air
Took this shot today with a friends camera was checking it to see how it worked they thought there may have been a focus problem. I cropped it about 60% (had clipped the top wing) Was using my lens seems to be fine with me I sharpened it some after reducing the image. It is the best of the few I got today. Will try to do better tomorrow. Hope to have time to check out a few other places. This was shot at Lock& Dam #18, there are maybe 50-60 eagles in the area but not as many as there usualy are. Not sure what the reason and they aren't talking.
Sigma 50-500 @ 1000mm eq 1/1250 F7.1 ISO 400

Another nice capture, Kendall. Very sharp considering hand holding that big glass. I'll be heading out again soon, I hope.
