p.1 #1 · Bald Eagle Perched on Utility Pole

Evening walk along the Colorado River, came around a bend and found this eagle quietly watching the world go by. No long lens�just a 100mm in APS-C mode�so I worked with the scene as it was. It held its post just long enough to catch that last bit of golden light.

ILCE-7RM5 FE 100mm F2.8 Macro GM OSS lens 100mm f/10.0 1/160s 100 ISO 0.0 EV

Thanks for the feedback Morris. That one is my favorite too - probably should have just posted that one since they�re all so similar.

nice pics. the golden glow of the evening sun adds a warm compliment to the blue skies. thanks for sharing. you may get bit with the birding bug and find yourself wanting a longer lens.

Thanks! That golden hour light caught my eye too and I lucked out with a few minutes of it before the sun dipped below a ridge and it was gone. I�m eyeing getting a 200-600mm lens and I�m certain I will like the challenge of birding photography. Some people here make it look easy which I know it�s not!
