It was somewhere east of Joe Overstreet Road. It was in a public park next to a church. Not a prime wilderness area, but the eagles seemed to like it.
The Z9 on FX-H shoots 20FPS (I never use the jpg - 120fps). That still gives me many shots to sort through. If I try shorter bursts, with my tremor, my trigger pressure is erratic,
resulting in missed actions. I'm forced to spray and pray to get some sharp images to work on. The rest get dumped.

Hi Larry. I spent 5 hours on a similar nest about 100 miles north of yours. The good news was I had my tripod up and could sit in a beach chair with a remote trigger while waiting for something to happen. The bad news was having to go through hundreds of images to find two or three decent shots showing the interaction between the dominant bird and the submissive one. You have captured that nicely in the expression on the sitting bird's face as it looks at its more active sibling. Eagles are great subjects, and the young ones are fascinating. Thanks for sharing. |

Hi Susan, it must have been a fabulous trip. I would enjoy seeing more photos from there. You are correct you are learning from the group. I can see from your comments that you are beginning to self-evaluate. Now, the trick is to put these lessons together before you take the shot. Larry, especially, provides top-level instruction.
I have found it very helpful to put a brief checklist on my phone's Notes program to review/check for each camera every time I go into the field. Even doing that, I always seem to forget one or two items. That's why reviewing your shots to check your settings as you go along is very important.
The best news is you are getting out there and shooting and learning more each time you do. Isn't that a great feeling, and why we all do what we do? |

Beautiful bird, Richard. Waiting for one to appear takes a lot of patience, which pays off here. Your post-processing is excellent, but I would have taken the final step to remove the distracting pine needle sticking into the bird's back. |

What a great opportunity. A very moving sight. It's like a miniature "great migration." I love the composition with the flowing curve to the nesting area. |

Nice capture, Michael! I love the crab's expression or my perception of it. GBH's are fun to watch hunt. They almost always come up with something interesting.
That Z400 f/4.5 is amazingly light, isn't it? It is becoming my "always on" lens. |
