A Canon 40D with the 100-400mm L lens.

If you click on an image in the gallery then look to your right, you will see a "photo info" tab. click on it and it gives you some EXIF data.

 

Thanks again!

 

This nest is 12 yrs old (as I was told by US Fish and Wildlife folks) and has been used repeatedly. It now sits in a tree line next to a new home development. They are pretty accessible when they are out of the nest but you have to respectful and not get too close. These images were shot 200 feet or so away with a 400mm lens and cropped some.

 

For those interested, a few more bald eagle pics have been posted here:

Typically the female bald eagle is larger than the male...and with this pair, thats the case.

Females are generally larger than males, but there is some overlap between the sexes, making sex determination of eagles in the wild somewhat difficult. Females range from about 9 to 11 pounds at maturity, while males range from about 8 to 10 pounds. Therefore, a larger male and a smaller female will appear to be exactly alike. There are no other phenotypical traits that can be used to determine the sex of bald eagles in the wild.
