I saw some kind of Raptor circling several hundred feet above my yard this afternoon. I pulled my camera off the tripod and did a handheld shot with my 150-450 and 1.4X converter mounted — about 630 mm. Shutter speed was at 1,000th. Turned focus manually to infinity and I think the camera locked on as well. But the result is less than 20% of frame. I assumed it was a hawk, but when I rendered it I could see if it’s no hawk i know. Matches up well to bad eagle underside pics on the web. Fun stuff. https://www.photo.net/photo/18372981/bald-eagle
That looks a lot like the vultures I was photographing this afternoon. They might sound a bit more impressive though if I call them "Paul eagles".
