Thanks, everyone.

As I mentioned before, focusing can be tough depending on the background so I was elated to see this short series of photos turn out reasonably well. Many of my shots are quite some distance away. These shots were probably 400-500 feet away. Many of the eagles are sitting on rocks at least 2,000 feet away. Some photographers come armed with one lens on a tripod and another on their shoulder. Some have 800mm lenses. Some add teleconverters up to 2X but I have avoided the increased focal length and have stayed with 500mm.
