In one hour of slowly driving through the Oahe Downstream campground I made 41 eagle sitings. I say that because I'm sure some were the same birds I had seen earlier, but they had flown to a new perch in the trees along the river.
Not once did I step out of the vehicle and these photos were all shot with a 400mm lens, which is fairly easy to hand-hold while shooting out the window.
A golden eagle with ragged tail feathers -
And a bald that sat for a long time for me.
Even with this success, I was still looking for a good clear flying shot. Unfortunately, this is the best I could do yesterday.
So, feeling frustrated at not getting a great spread-wing shot, I went home and shot sparrows in my backyard. Pretty happy with this one -
