The in-flight shots are truly magnificent! I love the dogfight series.<br /><br />Over the weekend I was able to watch two Golden Eagles in a similar dogfight for about 10 minutes during the Snow Goose Festival in Chico, California. Unfortunately they were too far away to photograph but I sure got good looks through my scope!Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09072345959644694466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-73660558047659833942011-01-30T18:41:19.202-05:002011-01-30T18:41:19.202-05:0037 participants this week.

Hilke, ...Thanks for the kind compliments everyone!<br /> Hilke, <br /> After a lot of reading and fretting about it I took the plunge last fall and bought a Canon T2i. There are so many wonderful images out there on the web that I hoped to emulate and many of them were taken with the Canon 400mm 5.6L lens. I bought one right away justifying the expenditure by telling myself that if I ran out of desire I would only loose a couple of hundred bucks on the resale. It was a silly premature decision that worked out well. Now it is four months and thousands of pictures later. Back-button focusing, plenty of light from the right direction,and getting out every day looking for birds are the keys given the proper equipment. I am SO blessed to actually own a home inside the Chippewa Nature Center on the Pine River, it's a bird santurary for goodness sake! Getting good close ups of Eagles in flight is something I have stumbeled into only three times and I see them everyday. I love this and in the end that's what makes it happen!Springmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09094132506583563094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-2860263975011026852011-01-25T19:52:33.597-05:002011-01-25T19:52:33.597-05:00I have never seen a juvenile Bald Eagle.
