Yesterday there were 5 full fish in the nest at once. No one is going to starve here. The third eaglet hatched now, lets hope its older siblings don't bully it too much. The two oldest were no more than a day apart but the third was about 3 days later. This is the 4th year in a row these parents have produced three offspring....a rare occurance.
You've got superior fish mongers Geoff...yes, no one ought to go hungry. Love to hear your take on the 5DS R...I suspect for static shots that don't require many many FPS it does give excellent results. Well, in your hands a brownie would probably work just fine.

Thanks Eric, this is the most fish I've ever seen in the nest at once...there may be even more buried in the straw!!
I've only had the 5DSR for a couple days. So far the detail is outstanding. 5DSR cropped down to 7D2 or 80D pixels is sharper than the crop body files. Because I've been shooting the little guys in the nest at 1200mm, the 80D was such a tight frame that I was helpless when I wanted to get a shot of the parent flying into the nest all of a sudden. With the 5DSR, I can crop down to my crop body framing with more detail anyways on the eaglets and have a full frame 1200mm view to catch the incoming parents. Next time I will try 840mm as that will likely be the sweet spot for both scenarios.
I have yet to test the higher ISOs. The 5FPS feels so slow after the 1DX and 7D2 but since I've been using the 7FPS on the 80D recently it doesn't feel that bad in comparison. I hope to test how the 5FPS does on flying things soon. I did use the 5D3 for a year or two at 6FPS without too many issues.
