duc, I'll laugh when I see the photo of the fish hanging from your deck ! I can't say I noticed any difference in their flight behavior. However, I know that when the wind is blowing, I miss more shots as their flight pattern becomes more unpredictable. Actually you don't need more than a 400mm lens. You can always add a 1.4x teleconverter. The other day, I was at 700mm and seven Bald Eagles were involved in a fight/chase right in front of me. I got zero photos.

pelle, to be honest, I don't recall seeing anyone digiscoping at Conowingo. I doubt that serious photographers ever digiscope. That seems to be used only by serious birders that are just trying to get a photo good enough to help them with identification, especially at a long distance.

The next three photos were taken with tree branches between me and the Bald Eagle. He has a nice fish in his talons.
