Eagle eye

[Water Wolf]

On a recent trip to the north I was able to snap a few photos of a young bald eagle.
I was surprised how good the photos turned out as the youngster was 150 to 200 feet up in a large spruce tree.


Here he is eying me with mild interest, wondering what I am doing below him.


After a quite some time he flew off to new and more exciting company.

 Good one Grizz, looks like the youngster when he flew off, minus the white head and tail. Is that a fish I see falling from it's grasp?

Is it just my computer/monitor or does the picture look very blurry with no detail?

Yesterday we were being observed by this young fellow for quite some time...I'm surprised the focus is decent as I did use a bit of zoom and took the shot from a slightly rocking boat.

[Mikepike]

he specifically stated that the bird was 200 feet up. You cant have crystal clear quality. read the posts before you act like a idiot.

I did read the posts and did know that it was taken 200 feet up, however, it also say how good the picture came out.  So, therefore, I assumed he thought it was a great picture since he did take the time to post it on the forum.

Crappie66, I was supprised how good the photos turned out for that hight, and the tree was blowing in the wind, also when I zoom in that close any tiny little movement would be a bit blurry, so it's not your computer screen going on the blink, no worries.
 
Good action shot Grizz.

Nice photo of the young fellow Thriller, you did well to compinsate for a rocking boat.

Thanks Mikepike, The camera is a Pentax with a 5x zoom.
