First, some BEs diving. If anyone thinks an Bald Eagle cannot move very quickly while 30 feet from you and trying to find and pull them out of the sky … at least to me its not easy

#4 No, I didn’t not get him hitting the water. It was a blur …

The following are CAPTIVE raptors. They are NOT in the wild but I think rescue animals

Fill Flash used on these. 70 - 200MM with 7D

The third eagle photo is my pick of the eagles. I'm assuming these raptors are captive birds. Stunning portraits

#3 suggests speed and power. #4 would be great but alas, you lost the head. Not easy to get. Tracking takes tons of practice.

Love the dive shots AC. The first three images appear flat. Some levels or curves will make them "POP"

TFS.

Wonderful pictures. Where did you get a chance to get so close to the raptors?

Thank you runakid. You got to get down on your knees and sneak really quietly up to them.

Ha, no, I said they were CAPTIVE, from some kind of rescue place. These were injured in some way and recovering.
