Eagle pictures

Had my 740 with me while I was mowing the lawn and saw this guy in the river.

Got another pic as he was leaving.

Great Pic....Was he across the river from you? Must be nice to have a place right on a river..All I got is a snake infest creek about 200 yds away

g-hog....I can mow right to the rivers edge. It's a big river and the eagle was on the edge of an island in front of my property. I see them all the time but never have my cam ready.

The only problem with the 740 is that it takes too long to focus and get a picture for birds, seems you only have time for one or maybe two pics.

I have a nikon n70 35mm and I can take ten pictures easier and as quick as a couple with the 740. Plus the view finder shows a lot more so is easier to follw a bird in flight.

Think I need one of those new digital SLR's. If only had the money.

Here's one I got of it flying.

Great shots Wildebeast!

This is not that good but I liked where he was perched.

All great pics! A buddy sent me these last year while he was flying for a guide service in Alaska.
