What a cool set of photos! I especially like the last one...the eagle looks annoyed as heck at the crow! I've seen lots of eagles where I live, but I can never get a clear view of one like you've got here! Great job!

Thanks! This eagle is the same one I shot before. She seems to hang around protecting her nest nearby. I've seen a baby moving around in the nest but he/she seems to always be down low in the center of the nest. This last time it came up for a couple minutes or so and I got a couple shots in really crappy light which put the face in deep shadow, I tried raising the shadows some but I'm still not happy with the baby pics. Someday I'll have to go to try and get a shot of it eating breakfast. It's just a really hard shot to get. Very far away and one would probably have to be shooting down into the nest to get a good shot (unless your really lucky and it was standing tall testing it's wings or something -even then it's really cluttered with branches).
