Photo of Bald Eagle - Our National Symbol - Vol. #2

As I mentioned, many of these eagles just sit around or move from one rock to another. Here's a photo of 7 of the 64 bald eagles that I mentioned. It's at least 1,000 feet from camera to the eagles. This photo was taken at 700mm, aperture priority of f/8 and I was experimenting with a higher ISO setting of 800. 1,000 feet is just too far to get a good photo of even a large bird.

If you recall, on some previous photos, I noted red bands and blue bands on a few eagles. I was told by an informed individual that the blue tagged eagles are from New York and the red tagged eagles are from Maine.
