At last, close to a Bald Eagle.

well you'd be welcome to borrow my backyard any time in you're in north west florida we have a neat variety of birds. my two favourites are the blue birds and wood peckers. we have a couple of large rotten tree trunks out back that attracts these guys. its pretty wild to see them if all you're used to seeing is finches and cardinals lol and then there was the time while driving home that a hawk nearly dropped a dead squirrel on the car.... yep we have a healthy bird population!!

dawn well done for them cracking pics, i was thinking of gettinr a camera the would be able to take photos at about 50/ 150 yrds could you tell me what kind of camrea would be best for my needs, i would be taken photo of wildlife but i love birds of prey, best one for me been a kestrel or any owl....( once seen a kestrel in my cousins back garden that backs onto a disused railway that had caught a small rabbit and we where looking at it throught the window for what seamed ages but was only about 10/15 mins, we where only about 10 ft from it...)

Great photo's Dawn!

 

I'm surprised that the Bald Eagle is much bigger than the Golden though, I seen a wild Golden in the Scottish Highlands, those Balds must be fecking huge!

Thanks both. Id recommend a good beginners SLR to begin with if you are serious about photography. Look at the Canon 450D or the 100d, Nikon do the D40 and the D60 too, also worth looking at.
