The eagles are mostly gone but for a few now that the chad run is over, but there are other birds around.When you did the first shot.. did you use some sort of filter? It's so well exposed and I'm trying to figure out how you all capture hits like this as it's pretty amazing. It seems like a shot taken higher in the sky and I'm surprised you were able to capture such detail on the lower body without blowing out your highlights and still maintaining quality.
No filter at all. I was on Multi on metering mode. I find that that does a pretty good job. Sometimes, I bias that -1/3 or -2/3 a stop, but the A1ii, like the A1, do a good job protecting highlights.

Had a blast a couple of weeks ago - finaly got a chance to visit Riserva naturale regionale del Lago di Cornino - home to a colony of Griffon Vultures. They have a strong colony, counting up to 150 birds nesting in the hills above this charming tiny emerald lake. Hope I can transfer some of the joy I felt having these majestic birds flying over my head that magical morning...

Capturing a landing sequence is tougher than a take-off one. As long as the reach is there, requiring only some cropping, even a 24-MP camera could pull this task just fine...
