Conowingo Dam is about 60 miles north of where I live, or 40 miles north of Baltimore. It's said to be one of the best locations in the U.S. to photograph bald eagles snatching fish out of the water. BIF enthusiasts from all over the country, or even foreign countries go there just for that. I just met some folks from California who flew here with their 600mm F4 lenses just for that. Parking can be an issue if you don't get there early enough. For better or worse, social media has made all attractions more crowded. I read that the best season is from later Oct. to late Jan.
For these shots I used both the Sony A9 (for it's top notch AF and 20 FPS, but only 24 MP) and the Sony A7RIV (for its resolution that allows massive cropping). The lens I used is the lowly Sony 200-600+1.4 TC. All images were cropped, some were cropped over 50% of the frames. Jim, you Canon R5 will be a PERFECT camera for this, top notch AF, FPS and high resolution.
