Wow... Stunning. The obligatory, what lens did you shoot with and how tightly cropped?
All were taken with a Canon cropped sensor camera (70D). The eagle’s photo with a 400mm lens and a 1.4x converter that’s equivalent to a 896mm and VERY tightly cropped. Both of the owl photos were taken with a 200mm, a 320 mm equivalent and cropped very little. About 50 frames were taken in order to get three acceptable images.
Here is a family pic from our dinner out the other night - SIL, nephew's older daughter in her Belle dress, nephew, his wife, yours truly, and the +1 holding the younger daughter. She has become his little buddy. So cute!!
Love this pic, Deb. Those little darlings are just adorable!!!
I still use a tripod, but not for these photos. The birds were constantly moving which didn’t allow the time required to manipulate a tripod. Instead all hand were hand-held using a 1/1500 shutter priority mode, which was fast enough to freeze their actions, create a shallow depth of field, and avoid camera shake.

Thank you. I'd have expected you'd need quite a bit of range for the Eagle. We saw a few while in Maine on a boat, but with just 200mm at my disposable and a probably 150 yards, nothing too good came from it.
A for fun photo..(lousy quality cell phone pic) .my sisters (all four of them) are in SC, I'm not. Two live in the area, one lives here in MA and one in VA. They "brought" me along for dinner.
