shutter speed was 1/1000th, too slow to freeze wing movement, but by panning I got this.

Yeah, I find around 1/1600 shows some blur in the pinions that gives a sense of live action.

this one was taken in full sun, my 1st choice for lighting

That's a cracker.

a cropped image, mountain on the right is Mt Meeker

Great context shot.

A general observation - most of these strike me as a little over-lightened in the dark tones. I don't know bald eagles but I expect their dark feathers are quite dark. I would caution againstĀ getting carried away with trying to show detail in every dark tone. It's okay for darkness to be dark, despite the insistence of the shadow pushers.
