Post your best bird shots!

Really nice pose and details are great....you're right, surprisingly close....this one could actually use a little more space around the subject. I bet that was a thrill to get in close range with an eagle. Good work.

Thanks Joel --- yes I would agree, a bit less focal length would have helped (how often does anyone ever say that, for birds?!). We were drifting in slowly in a boat, and I was firing like mad. But the shots from farther out didn't have as nice a pose. It was definitely exciting... enough to make me think that I might want to be a real birder someday
