The youngster is growing but still a bit from fledging. Mom and dad aren't both hanging at the nest anymore but there is normally one there. This was mom, never saw dad.

I fished a tourney at Broken Bow in SE OKLA several years ago in February. It was cold as can be and my partner and I weren't catching anything while we chunk and wind our rattle traps. Literally, out of no where and about 30 yards away, a bald eagle hits the water and pulls out about a 3 pound largemouth. It flew in front of us as if it was taunting us, lol.

It was hilarious....and frustrating...

Bill M · 02-10-2022, 09:44 AM

They are really cool to watch.

JACK750 · 02-10-2022, 09:55 AM

I actually use a couple of different ones. The flight shots where with a Sony FE 100-400 and the others with the Sony FE 200-600.

The shorter one was used on the flight shots. Never know which way they will go so shorter gives a bit more room. The longer used on static shots.

Bill M · 02-25-2022, 02:35 PM

A couple from earlier this week. Not as good a visit to the nest.

Very cool images!!

RedHossO3 · 06-28-2022, 08:51 AM

Very cool Bill - 'preciate you sharing.

We are so blessed to have critters to watch - when I was a kid the eagle and hawk population had been pretty decimated - first eagle I ever saw was on Lake DeGray in Arkansas probably 20-25 years ago - what an amazing sight!

NathanJackson · 07-15-2022, 02:47 AM

What kind of camera, great photos, and if possible the name of the lens

Sony

The lens is pictured further up in this thread. I use a combination so it's better to look at the site the photo is linked to for further info on the exact equipment.
