Back in the 80's I had to go to Alaska to see Bald Eagles, lately I've seen
them all over Michigan. A couple of weeks ago I photographed a pair of
adults in front of my place in Traverse City. A few weeks ago while
returning downstate, we were buzzed by an adult - couldn't have been more
than 25 feet from the car as we were traveling around 70mph. Unfortunately
most of these sightings were totally out of the blue and there was no way to
set up and capture. It has made me more likely to keep the 600 in the car.

I have yet to get close enough to an Eagle for any of my lenses. Glad to
see your /obsolete/ camera works so well.

Seen this evening across the river from our house. I took several dozen
shots, mostly handheld, a few on a monopod. I started at ISO1600, but
then dropped to 800 and just tried to be steady. So, some noise, some
camera movement, but not too bad considering. As I work my way through
the other shots (this was grabbed almost randomly from the stack) I may
find one or more that can be rendered more sharply. K20D, DA*60-250/4.0 @
250mm

Don't lose heart, they might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid
a lengthly search.
