A friend showed me another access point for the Moultrie Creek Eagles nest. The range is a lot shorter than where I tried last week. It is still long enough to work my camera and lens hard, makes me want a DSLR, but they don't grow on trees. I made this shot in mid afternoon, morning would have been better, with the Sun behind me.
I had the tripod set up on a floating dock, not the most stable place around, but the clearest view. I kept hoping to catch one of the birds on the edge of the nest, all I got was a head shot. The shot is not cropped, image quality just isn't good enough to do much with. A morning shot will be much better.

Hi! I found your blog through your comment on mine. This looks interesting. I like looking at Florida blogs on cold winter days. I'll be back!
I love Eagles. Collect everything related to them. I'm going to Alaska in June just to take pics of Eagles. I have a Nikon D-40, and a D-80. 50-500mm lens for the long shots,plus other various lens.I would love to get close enough to use the 80mm lens. How far away were you taking that Eagle pic?

I estimate the nest was 100 yards from where I was. Closest spot accessible is a floating dock out in the creek.
