There were quite a few eagles out on the river. But in order to capture them you had to pull off the side of the road, check traffic (the road was narrow at the river bank), jump out of the car, aim the camera, focus, and shoot. I got a few through my sun roof.
I'm going to need to go back when I have more time and take a longer lens. Cryminny, my 300mm just wasn't enough, even on my D300 with it's FX-sized sensor. Sigh.
This is the probably the only one that is half-way decent. But it's still not very good. I need to get CLOSER.

Someone told me recently that they got real close to some on or near the JB bridge.
Watch out flirting with BIF -- gets real expensive real fast. You may need the Nikkor 500 or 600. : )
I keep telling myself that I need to get out to a couple of places around here where there are a lot of these. I'm not sure how close I can get and my longest lens is a 55-200mm.
